Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes the First Player in History to Score 125 UEFA Club Competition Goals

Cristiano Ronaldo is known to have broken several records in the past, both set by other footballers and by himself. To many football lovers, he’s a player beyond this planet. Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba once said, he and his argentine’ rival, Lionel Messi are from another planet because the duo are the monster king of football. Record breaking is not strange to him but with his latest 125 UEFA club competitions goals, Ronaldo has just set yet another feet for others to catch up with.

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the very first player in history to score 125 UEFA club competitions goals.

An incredible feat for a truly special player.

The 34-year-old bagged a brilliant brace in Juventus’ Champions League round of 16 second-leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

He opened the scoring in the 27th minute before adding a second in the 49th minute.

Ronaldo now has an impressive 62 Champions League knockout goals and has been involved in 76 Champions League knockout goals from 77 games.
