Cristiano Ronaldo has made history again by getting 700 official goals in his professional career. The ProFootballDB analyses how all of his goals have been.

It makes clear Cristiano is capable of scoring at whichever team he is at. It was not something he did too much at Sporting Lisbon, who he left at a very young age, but at Man Utd, Real Madrid, Juventus and Portugal, CR7 has been a nightmare for hundreds of keepers. 

Few have been at Cristiano Ronaldo's level when talking about goalscoring. He is even close to breaking Pele's record in a nice ongoing battle with Leo Messi. He has scored all types of goals, in almost any place in the world and against practically all sorts of opponents. 

Five goals for Sporting, 118 for Man Utd, 450 times at Real Madrid, for whom he is their record goalscorer, 32 for Juve and 95 for his country Portugal. In total, CR7 has got 700 goals to his name at the age of 34. There are some people who say he has 701 because 'Marca' gave Ronaldo a goal despite his free-kick coming off teammate Pepe back in 2010.

Almost half of his goals have come thanks to his right foot (331 to be precise). He has netted the same number of times with his left foot or from a header (127 each) and 113 times from the spot including the goal which brought up his 700th. He also has scored twice with his chest

He is the top scorer in Champions League history and in Euro qualifiers. He has scored in 21 different competitions (excluding international friendlies). The team he has scored most against is Sevilla (27). Sweden, Latvia, Andorra and Armenia are the countries to have conceded most to Cristiano: five times each. 

CR7's most prolific years were from 2011 to 2014 when he scored in excess of 60 goals per season. Cristiano Ronaldo cannot stop smiling when these records are mentioned. "I don't know how many records I have, records come naturally for me!"
