JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo set an individual record as the first player to score 100 goals or more in the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and Champions League when he netted against Arsenal on Saturday night.
Ronaldo graced the match of matchday 34 of the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium, London, with his goal in the 34th minute as he beat Nuno Tavares and Gabriel Magalhaes to meet Nemanja Matic's precise cross to beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
However with that goal, United still trailed 1-2 from Arsenal who took the lead thanks to Tavares' goals and Bukayo Saka's penalty.
Quoted from ANTARA, Saturday, April 23, this goal fulfilled Ronaldo's 100th goal in the Premier League, along with 311 goals he scored in La Liga and 140 goals in the Champions League. Ronaldo became the first player to score 100 goals or more in all three competitions, according to stats website Squawka.
Apart from these three competitions, since making his debut at senior level on 29 September 2022, Ronaldo has also graced his career with 81 goals in the Italian Serie A, three goals in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and 115 goals for the Portugal national team which may increase considering that Os Navegadores will appear in the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar in November.
Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford last season in the hope that the Red Devils could show the same kind of talent he had when he helped win the Premier League three seasons in a row from 2006/07 to 2008/09.
The owner of five Ballon d'Or trophies is reported to have a two-year contract with the option of a year extension and this season has scored 16 goals for United in 26 Premier League appearances.
