Peculiar Achievement of Cristiano Ronaldo career 500 goal's
in Club world cup Semi-final against club America on Thursday. But now he has
Club World Cup goal for Real Madrid. It took a long time coming, however after
he had hit the post twice missed the target with a header with an open an open
goal with at his mercy.
James Rodriguez passes to fire under the goal keeper from in
the 92 minute to secure a 2-0 win after Karim Benzema had scored the opener in
first stoppage time.There appeared to be some confusion over whether the goal
would stand,
with the official checking the Video Assistant Referee system for
a potential offside, but replays showed Ronaldo had timed his run perfectly.
Ronaldo had been stuck on 499 after failing to net in clubfootball's biggest game - El Clasico - and last week's home Champions League
meeting with Borussia Dortmund.It marks another achievement for Ronaldo, who is
Madrid and Portugal's all-time leading goal scorer, while no player has scored
more times in the Champions League than the former Manchester United forward.
Ronaldo scored his first club goal in 2002 at the tender age
of 17 for Sporting CP on his league debut against Moreira’s, and it was a
typically wonderful effort as he waltzed through the defense with a couple of
trademark stopovers before dinking his shot over the goalkeeper.
When Ronaldo reached 500 career goals - including his tally
for Portugal - in January, he spoke of a desire to score 500 more before
retirement.On three occasions at Madrid he has scored 40 or more LaLiga goals
in a season, falling just two shy of 50 in 2014-15.
Two more milestones for Cristiano - goal number 500 and also
a first for Madrid in the Club World Cup - made it a satisfying week for the
Portuguese. Now, he will look to end it with another trophy.
He 31-year-old, who claimed the Ballon d'Or for the fourth
time on Monday, had told the media prior to this match that Madrid were not in
Japan on holiday. They were here to win another trophy, he claimed, and on a
personal level he was also keen to get his name on a score sheet in the
competition for the first time as a Real player.
