Ronaldo Nears 700 Career Goals After Scoring Against Luxembourg by ogbiwa(op): 7:01am On Oct 14, 2019

Cristiano Ronaldo moved to within one goal from his 700th career goal as Portugal edged closer to Euro 2020 qualification with a 3-0 win against Luxembourg.

Manchester City's Bernardo Silva opened the scoring before Ronaldo scored with a chip over Anthony Moris.

Valencia's Goncalo Guedes completed the scoring just before full-time.

Portugal remain second in Group B, five points behind Ukraine, but four points clear of Serbia in third.

Ronaldo will have the chance to become just the sixth person to score 700 goals when Portugal travel to Ukraine on Monday.

Fernando Santos' side can qualify with a win in Kiev, if Serbia fail to win in Lithuania.

C trouble

C wahala.
In Onitsha then we call him "Ototo Cristiano"

Scoring 700 goals in modern day football with all the tight rules and strict formations is by no means a small feat. Certified legend alongside Messi.

And before you say many of his 700 goals were penalties, think about this: would Chelsea have lost the 2008 Champions league as well as the 2019 UEFA super cup if penalties were easy to score?
I'm sure Chelsea would have wished to have a Ronaldo on their team in both of those games.

Also before you mention tap ins, the great Van Nistelroy, a one time record champs league goalscorer, scored almost 98% of his career goals from inside the box. So scoring from tap ins on a regular basis is not a matter of luck, but excellent positional awareness and instinct which is the quality of a great marksman. If it was easy, there are strikers who score only 2 goals a season. I'm sure they won't mind scoring tap ins too to increase their tally.

The kind of publicity Ronaldo is getting shows how pathetic his case is.

When Messi scores, no news about it but when Ronaldo scores, it would hit FP.

Why not let him reach the 700th goal first before making FP?

Most if not 80% of his goals are penalty and tap in, he's so overrated scoring against mediocre teams

Ronaldo missed from the spot in 2008, what are you saying?

A wise person would sit down and enjoy both Messi and Ronaldo instead of arguing and bearing enmity over who is better.

Ayegbeni couldn't even score a simple tap against Korea at the World Cup. Ayefele would have scored that goal, given the chance undecided
