Cristiano Ronaldo was hailed as the most prolific professional goalscorer in the history of the game last night after notching his 760th senior goal to help Juventus beat Napoli 2-0 in the Italian Supercup. The title of greatest goalscorer is much contested, but several media outlets reported that Ronaldo’s strike had taken him past Austro-Czech Josef Bican to the top of the list. Bican, as well as Brazilian strikers Pele and Romario, scored in excess of 1,000 goals during their careers but those statistics include strikes in amateur, unofficial and friendly matches.
Can’t go to the ahops or buy a coffee, but football continues to be played! Ridiculous!
