The Portuguese star had been on 999 games, although there is some debate as to what constitutes his 1,000th, depending on whether Sporting CP B appearances qualify.

It is Ronaldo’s 75th appearance for Juventus since joining in the summer of 2018.

Ronaldo appeared 438 times for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, scoring 450 goals.

The No 7 made his name at Manchester United, and played 292 games, scoring 118 goals.

The Red Devils bought Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2003, where he played 30 times, scoring five goals.

Ronaldo has also earned 164 caps for Portugal, scoring 99 times.
