Ronaldo to equal a Real Madrid legend
If Cristiano Ronaldo plays in the Spanish Supercopa against Barcelona, he will draw level with a Real Madrid icon in matches played: Alfredo Di Stefano.
Di Stefano, considered by many to be among the best players in history, played 396 times for Real Madrid. Ronaldo has featured in 395 matches.
Cristiano is close to equalling a true Real Madrid star, though he surpassed his goal numbers some time ago. Di Stefano banged in 307, while the Portuguese star has 407 goals to his name.
Di Stefano played 13 seasons at Madrid. Ronaldo, on the other hand, is kicking off his tenth campaign leading the line for the 'Blancos'.
The one front in which Ronaldo will find it hard to surpass the former striker is that of trophies: Di Stefano lifted eight leagues and five Champions Leagues, while CR7 has won two and three, respectively.
