Cristiano Ronaldo’s brace against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham allowed him to break Josef Bican’s record with 806 competitive goals.
There had been some debate over a few of the existing records, as some thought Ronaldo had already achieved the all-time record.
However, even if Bican’s 805 is confirmed as the greatest number of competitive goals, CR7 has now beaten that too with 806.
