Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has surpassed Brazil legend Pele to become the second-highest goalscorer in history and the highest for an active player.
Juventus took on Udinese in Serie A on Sunday and ran out 4-1 winners with Ronaldo grabbing a brace. The two goals were enough for the 35-year-old to hit 758 career goals for club and country.
Pele himself managed a staggering 757 goals during his remarkable career at Santos, New York Cosmos, and the Brazil national team.
Despite this, Ronaldo has managed to overtake the three-time World Cup winner by scoring his 14th goal of the season as he leads the race for Serie A top scorer.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner also grabbed an assist for Federico Chiesa with a deft pass to make it 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium before Paulo Dybala wrapped up the scoring.
