The Portuguese forward has reached a notable career milestone, having been a regular on the scoresheet for Sporting, Manchester United and Los Blancos

Cristiano Ronaldo was among the goals again for Real Madrid on Saturday, with his 17th-minute penalty away at Alaves taking him to another notable career milestone.

A phenomenal strike rate throughout his club career means he is fast closing in on 500 goals in all competitions after scoring a hat-trick in the 4-1 victory.

He has, however, already reached the 350-goal mark in league competition – with those efforts spread across spells with Sporting CP, Manchester United and Madrid.

Ronaldo netted three times in his native Portugal, before six seasons at Old Trafford delivered 84 Premier League efforts.

Another 263 have been added in La Liga, including two in the first half against Alaves, with that remarkable return coming in just 243 games.

His spot-kick against Alaves also means that the 31-year-old has netted against every Spanish top-flight opponent he has faced, while he netted again on 33 minutes before completing his hat-trick with two minutes left.
