Great performance by Real Madrid in the first leg of the CL semi-final.
Love him or hate, Ronaldo was a different class.

Cristiano Ronaldo – CL Records
Most goals: 103
Most home goals: 54
Most away goals: 47
Most KO stage goals: 52
Most assists: 31

Not bad I suppose

He's actually scored more hat-tricks than Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, Thiery Henry, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and Harry Kane ......................... combined !!!

Only one in the PL though....

Undoubtably one of the best ever. But the top two in Spain have a feieldmday year in year against the bottom half of the table.

His and messi's stats will beat any player who's played in any other top division. And they'd beat any other player if they played in the prem/Germany or Italy too I expect. But they'd be less impressive if they had imo.

I was surprised by the assists.
5 goals v Bayern over 2 legs & 3 v Atletico in the 1st leg is unreal.

Bit like saying Celtic are the best team in the world because they've won the Scottish Prem for xxx years on the bounce.

But what about his record in the Champion's League? Outstanding, but should it only count once out of the group stages when all the diddy teams are out?

Those numbers are all distorted now. Back in the day you only qualified if you were champions of your league or returning winners. Now the likes of Real are guaranteed a place every season. Next the number of games in the competition is significantly greater. No going out after two matches now.


There is no disputing the numbers are impressive but you have to re-set the stats start date for them to mean anything.

Unbeliveable. We're so spoilt having Ronaldo and Messi playing in the same era. Two of the greatest goal scorers of all-time. Ronaldo's record in the last 10 seasons is nothing short of exceptional. For me, he's the greatest of all time.

He still bangs them in in the knockouts too. Last 8 goals proving that.

Im not doubting his huge talent at all. But if you're in a team that's wins the league with plus 70 year on year. Your goals ration will obviously be better. If he'd stayed at Utd the. He wouldn't have the same goals imo.

Although shearer would of had serious competition for his record.

Not a prayer, I don't think he'd have even come close.

Ronaldo scored 49 goals in his last 2 PL seasons and has only improved as a player since then, no doubt in my mind as to whether he'd have broken Shearer's record. He'd have only needed 22 goals a season in his last 8 since leaving to equal Shearer, to think he wouldn't surpass it when he's easily got 3/4/5 more good years left in him is madness.

Ooops, I think I misunderstood the first quoted post!
Ronaldo would, if he'd stayed in the EPL, have absolutely battered Shearer's goal scoring record.
He'd have battered all EPL goal scoring and assist records.
