Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the Saudi Pro League goal-scoring record set by Abderrazak Hamdallah who netted 34 in 2019.
The 39-year-old former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward scored a brace on Monday to take his tally to 35 goals in a season.
The Portuguese star netted a brace in Al-Nassr’s last league stage match of the season as they beat Al-Ittihad 4-2 in Riyadh, taking his tally to 35 goals in a season as he broke the record of Hamdallah who netted 34 in the 2019 season while playing for Al Nassr.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner shared a post on social media after breaking the Saudi Pro League record. He captioned the post: “I don’t follow the records, the records follow me”.
According to <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/football/kylian-mbappe-expresses-desire-to-play-for-ac-milan-amidst-real-madrid-links-101716944576693.html">Hindustan Times</a>, Ronaldo also became the first footballer to become the highest goal-scorer in four different leagues.
He won the Spanish Golden Boot thrice, the Premier League Golden Boot once, and did the same in Serie A while playing for Juventus.
In Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo netted four hat-tricks and also picked up a red card. He was suspended for obscene gestures towards Al-Shabab fans who had been chanting the name of Lionel Messi, Ronaldo’s longstanding football rival.
Al-Nassr finished second in the league, 14 points behind local rival Al-Hilal, which completed the 34-round league unbeaten on Monday.

Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Saudi Pro League Goal-scoring Record

French midfielder, N’Golo Kante has left Chelsea to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad after seven years at Stamford Bridge where  he won numerous trophies, including the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup He was also part of the French team that won the World Cup in 2018.
Chelsea’s co-sporting directors praised Kante’s impact and influence on the club. Kante’s ball-winning ability was crucial to Chelsea’s unexpected league crown in the 2016/17 season, which earned him multiple Player of the Year awards. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the club said:
<blockquote>
Chelsea today says goodbye to club legend N’Golo Kante, with the midfielder to join Saudi Professional League side Al-Ittihad at the expiration of his contract.
The 32-year-old played a decisive role throughout his seven seasons at Stamford Bridge and lifted the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
The World Cup was also claimed with France in 2018, but as Kante’s medal collection swelled, he remained understated, humble, and immensely popular with team-mates, coaches and supporters alike. 
N’Golo Kante lauded by his Chelsea team-mates after winning the Premier League title at West Bromwich Albion in 2017 
Co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said: ‘N’Golo’s impact and influence during his time at Chelsea cannot be overstated. His tireless performances in midfield contributed to several trophy wins and has guaranteed him a place in the club’s history. We wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter in his career.’
Kante arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2016 having played a key role in Leicester City winning the Premier League title. He instantly settled into the Chelsea midfield and his ball-winning ability was fundamental to Antonio Conte’s team securing an unexpected league crown.
Such was the France international’s influence across the 2016/17 campaign, he was named PFA Player of the Year, the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season.
At the end of the following campaign – which ended with an FA Cup final triumph over Manchester United at Wembley – Kante was named Chelsea Player of the Year by supporters.
Kante’s game evolved during his time at Stamford Bridge and he played in a more advanced midfield role en route to Chelsea winning the 2019 Europa League. The Frenchman, despite nursing an injury, starred in the final in Baku as Arsenal were beaten.
An injury-impacted 2019/20 was overcome the following season, which ended with Chelsea being crowned as European champions for the second time. Kante was extraordinary in the knockout stages, winning player-of-the-match awards in ties against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and after Manchester City were beaten in the final.
</blockquote>
N’Golo Kante is the latest high-profile footballer to move to Saudi Arabia, following Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Ruben Neves of Wolves is also expected to join the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal.

N’Golo Kante Leaves Chelsea To Join Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad

Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals for Al-Nassr when they played Al-Wehda in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday night and has reached a new milestone.  
The veteran striker, 38, only managed one goal (penalty) in his first three competitive appearances for the club he joined at the end of December. But found his form against Al-Wehda, scoring in the 21st, 40th, 53rd and 61st minutes to reach and then surpass 500 career league goals.
The Portugal captain’s first goal was a powerful, left-footed finish across the goalkeeper after he was played in down the channel. 
Ronaldo showed his poacher’s instincts to score his second, too, as he raced in behind to latch onto a through-ball and finish under Abdulquddus Atiah.
His third came early in the second half when he scored from the penalty spot, and a fourth was added just after the hour mark to reach 503 league goals after the goalkeeper could only paw his tame shot back into his path to slide the ball into the empty net.
Ronaldo’s goals set Al-Nassr on a path to a much-needed victory as they push for another league title. The Middle Eastern giants have endured a patch of mixed form since signing the superstar on a contract worth £173 million per year.
They drew two of their last three league games ahead of the fixture against Al-Wehda and were knocked out of the Saudi Super Cup by Al-Ittihad, depriving Ronaldo of a shot at an early piece of silverware. 
These results invited Al-Shabab back into the title race, but Ronaldo’s goals on Thursday night saw Al-Nassr leapfrog their rivals, over whom they also have a game in hand.
Ronaldo’s 503 career league goals:
<blockquote>
a). 3 – Primeira Liga for Sporting Lisbon
b). 84 – Premier League for Manchester United, 
c). 311 – La Liga for Real Madrid
d). 81 – Serie A for Juventus
e). 18 – Premier League for Manchester United
f). 5 – Saudi Pro League for Al Nassr
</blockquote>
His overall tally of 503 means he is only behind Pele (604), Romario (544), Josef Bican (518) and Ferenc Puskas (514) on the all-time list of league goalscorers.

Cristiano Ronaldo Reaches New Milestone With 4 Goals

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals for Al Nassr-Al Hilal, Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia when they played Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in a friendly match played in the Middle Eastern nation’s capital.
The friendly match was a part of Riyadh Seasons, a Saudi festival sponsored by the government.
Both Messi and Ronaldo found the scoresheet, as did Kylian Mbappe, and PSG emerged with a 5-4 victory.
Ronaldo struck twice, once via a penalty and once from open play, while Messi’s teammates Mbappe and Neymar scored from the penalty spot as well. 
Mbappe scored, only after Neymar had blundered his chance to score.
Ronaldo got Man of the Match for his brace.
Juan Bernat was sent off in the 39th minute for a last-man foul, leaving PSG down a man for much of the game, but it didn’t matter as both sides took advantage of the exhibition environment to put on a show in front of the net.
This match was little more than a showcase event between two star-studded squads featuring two iconic players, but the two teams will hope that good performance can springboard them further into the season’s competitive matches. The attacking talent on both sides really did steal the show.
Lineups:
PSG (3-4-3, right to left): Navas (GK — Donnarumma, 65′) — Hakimi (Pembele, 68′), Marquinhos (Danilo, 46′), Ramos (Bitshiabu, 65′), Bernat (red card, 39′) — Sanches (Vitinha, 46′ — Kari, 86′), Fabian (Nuno, 67′), Soler (Gharbi, 63′) — Neymar (Zaire-Emery, 63′), Messi (Housni, 63′), Mbappe (Ekitike, 64′).
Riyadh (4-3-3, right to left): Al-Owais (GK) — Abdulhamid, Al Bulayhi, Soo Jang, Al Ghanam (Lajami, 46′)  — Al Khaibari (Kanno, 64′), Gustavo (Otayf, 87′), Al Dawsari (Al Najei, 87′) — P. Martinez (Carrillo, 64′), Ronaldo (Pereira, 61′), Marega (Talisca, 46′).

Cristiano Ronaldo Scores A Brace As Lionel Messi's PSG Beat Al Nassr-Al Hilal

Cristiano Junior, the son of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, is set to join the Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia.
WHAT HAPPENED? After leaving Manchester United by mutual consent in November, the elder Ronaldo recently signed for Saudi side Al-Nassr in a deal reportedly worth $75m (£61.1m) per year. His 12-year-old son has left United too and will now play at the academy level in the Middle Eastern country.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ronaldo Jr spent two years in Juventus’ academy system while his father was playing in Italy, and most recently wore the No. 7 shirt as a prospect with Man United. He also featured in the Real Madrid youth team.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR RONALDO? While it remains unclear as to when exactly Ronaldo Jr will start playing for his new side, his father could be in action when the Saudi All-Star team take on Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly on January 19.
WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SAID: It was previously reported that <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/cristiano-ronaldo-jnr-leaves-manchester-united-rejoins-real-madrid/">Ronaldo Jr had rejoined Real Madrid</a> following his father’s departure from Manchester United. During that period, his father was at Los Blancos where he was training in order to remain in shape before <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/cristiano-ronaldo-finds-new-club-after-leaving-manchester-united/">he signed for Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia</a> on Friday in a deal believed to be worth more than 200 million euros.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr Set To Join Saudi Arabia Academy

Reports suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo could play in the Uefa Champions League (UCL) next season.
It is alleged that there is a clause in his contract with <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/cristiano-ronaldo-finds-new-club-after-leaving-manchester-united/">his newly-found club, Al Nassr,</a> which allows him to sign for Newcastle United on loan if the English club qualifies for the UCL.
Al Nassr, a Saudi Arabian club, and Newcastle have the same owner, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.
Ronaldo had his Manchester United <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/cristiano-ronaldo-is-leaving-manchester-united-with-immediate-effect/">contract terminated</a> during the 2022 Qatar World Cup after he did an interview with Piers Morgan in which he said that he does not respect United coach Erik ten Hag.
There had already been friction between him and the club and the interview was the final straw. United are now looking for another forward to replace him.
He reportedly tried in vain to rejoin Real Madrid or find any club in the Champions League.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to defend his Champions League records including the all-time leading scorer in this continental tournament with 140 goals scored.
The only one capable of catching him any time soon is Lionel Messi who has 129 which means he is only 11 behind the Portuguese and 12 away from surpassing him.
The records matter especially considering that they are used to determine the greatest footballer of all time. 
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/messis-argentina-beat-france-to-lift-the-world-cup/">Lionel Messi recently won the World Cup with Argentina</a> which is a blow to Ronaldo who is likely not to participate at any other World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo Could Still Play In The Uefa Champions League Next Season

Rio Ferdinand has criticised the media for suggesting that his former teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo made a bad move to join AL Nassr, a club in Saudi Arabia.
The Portugal striker <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/cristiano-ronaldo-finds-new-club-after-leaving-manchester-united/">signed for Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia on Friday last week</a> in a deal believed to be worth more than 200 million euros.
The 37-year-old former Real Madrid striker penned a contract which will take him to June 2025, the club announced but media, both print and social media are awash with posts which blame the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner. Pindula News presents Ferdinand’s response to the posts:
<blockquote>
The media is disgusting. When Rooney, Beckham, Lampard and Gerrard went to America, they used to say that it was a great way to end their career, What a way to finish their careers, getting great money, going to a league that’s not as competitive, let them go, they’ve deserved that, they’ve earned the right. That’s all I saw in the media. But when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to do this, it became a shame and a disaster only because he went to Saudi Arabia.
I’m pleased for him that he’s finally happy. For any footballer whatever level you’re playing in, happiness and being happy in the environment you’re playing in is one of the most important things. He hasn’t been happy for a while so I’m pleased he’s on the verge of finding that happiness, albeit in a country that not many people expected him to go to. But what a prospect that is, what an adventure that is for him to go to Saudi to go and play in a brand new league, a competitive league over there by the way.
I’ve looked at people commenting and a few pundits saying it’s a sad way for him to go out. The only sadness is the way it ended at Manchester United. I think in hindsight in a couple of years he’ll look back and think it could have been handled differently. But this next chapter, going to Saudi. How is that a sad way to end his career? I don’t understand how people are saying that.
Let a man go and live, let a man go and enjoy it. It’s a new adventure he’s taking his family to experience a new culture. Every other player that’s gone to a less competitive league to end their career has been told you’ve earned the right. No man on the planet would have earned the right more than this guy.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr has left Manchester United following the termination of his dad’s contract at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese star gave an explosive interview in mid-December that ended with him and his now former club opting to sever ties. 
His son, Cristiano, was playing in the club’s academy but has since left and rejoined Real Madrid’s youth ranks, where he has previously played.
Cristiano Jnr’s youth career has largely mirrored his father’s – moving from Madrid to Juventus and then Manchester. 
He’s now back at Los Blancos, where his father had been training in order to remain in shape before <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/cristiano-ronaldo-finds-new-club-after-leaving-manchester-united/">he signed for Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia</a> on Friday in a deal believed to be worth more than 200 million euros.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr Leaves Manchester United, Rejoins Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo is searching for a new team after Manchester United announced the former Real Madrid striker was leaving and the club could be sold.
Ronaldo, currently at the World Cup in Qatar, issued a statement of his own, declaring his love for the club and saying it “feels like the right time” to seek a new challenge.
The problem for Ronaldo is that leading English and European clubs opted against moving for him in the summer transfer window despite his desire to leave Old Trafford, according to AFP.
They will likely be even warier now, having witnessed him saying he does not respect Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s weekly pay packet at United of around £500,000 ($595,000) could also scare away clubs he would like to join.
He has reportedly held talks with Bayern Munich and has been linked with an emotional return to Sporting Lisbon, where he came through the youth ranks.
Ronaldo said he was offered a two-year deal worth $360 million by a Saudi Arabian club and remains insistent there is interest from Europe’s top clubs. 
Should a European side fail to come calling, a move to the United States is a possibility.
The Portugal star made his name in his first spell at Old Trafford where won three Premier League titles and the Champions League at United before leaving in 2009 after six years for Real Madrid.
When he rejoined Manchester United last year, he finished third in the Premier League goalscoring charts with 18 goals but has been a peripheral figure this season, scoring just three times in all competitions.
The World Cup could be his final opportunity to show he can still perform at the highest level.

Ronaldo Searching For A New Club After Leaving Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect. 
The club released a statement this Tuesday thanking him for “his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford.”
In a statement seen by Pindula News, the club said:
<blockquote>
Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.
The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.
Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch.
</blockquote>
Ronaldo recently made headlines after telling TalkTV that he does not respect United manager Erik ten Hag and claimed he is being forced out of Old Trafford.
His remarks prompted some stakeholders including former teammates, Wayne Rooney and former United captain Gary Neville to say the Portuguese international’s contract should be terminated by the club.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner who has been a peripheral figure on the field for United since Ten Hag took charge as a manager in May also criticised the club’s owners, the Glazer family, claiming they “don’t care” about the sporting success of the club.

He made the remarks after Ronaldo told TalkTV that he does not respect United manager Erik ten Hag and claimed he is being forced out of Old Trafford.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner who has been a peripheral figure on the field for United since Ten Hag took charge as a manager in May also criticised the club’s owners, the Glazer family, claiming they “don’t care” about the sporting success of the club.
Speaking to Sky Sports Neville said Manchester United have to terminate the former Real Madrid striker’s contract. He said:
<blockquote>
l don’t think he wants a way back. He wouldn’t have done this interview if he wanted a way back.
He knew it would bring the headlines it has and be the end of his Manchester United career.
I’m wondering what Man Utd are doing because the reality of it is they know they have to terminate Cristiano’s contract or they basically open up a precedent so any player can criticise them in the future.
I agree with some of the things Cristiano has said, and many Man Utd fans will agree with many things Cristiano has said. But the reality is if you’re an employee within a business and say those things your employment has to terminate and Man Utd have to do that in the next few days.
</blockquote>
A statement from United, released on Monday, said the club would “consider its response after the full facts have been established”.
However, a banner of Ronaldo has already been removed from the facade of Old Trafford.
Ronaldo has just over six months left on his contract after rejoining United from Juventus in August 2021.
The Portuguese won three Premier League titles and the Champions League during his first stint at Old Trafford.
His homecoming has turned sour.
United failed to qualify for the Champions League after finishing sixth in the Premier League last season, despite Ronaldo’s 24 goals in all competitions.
The 37-year-old is due to appear in his fifth World Cup in Qatar.

Former Manchester United Captain Says Cristiano Ronaldo's Contract Must Be Terminated

Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has announced the death of his baby son after long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Ronaldo announced the tragic news on Instagram in a joint statement signed by the couple. Read the post:
<blockquote>
It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel.

UEFA Champions League Results: Cristiano Ronaldo Strikes Again

Tim Sherwood believes Cristiano Ronaldo will be the next Manchester United coach replacing his former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who has presided over a steady improvement in United’s fortunes since succeeding Jose Mourinho.
Ronaldo rejoined United after spending over a decade away during which he played for Spanish and Italian giants, in that order, Real Madrid and Juventus. Sherwood told Ladbrokes at its launch of the 5-A-Side bet on Arsenal v Spurs:
<blockquote>
I can see Ronaldo as Manchester United manager within 18 months. 

I think it’s OK that Ronaldo’s on the touchline and Ole’s going to have to accept it. If he brings him to his football club you’ve got to know what you’re bringing in.
It’s a completely different Ronaldo to the one who was at Old Trafford the first time around.
He knows how he’s needed and if he feels like he needs to stand next to the manager and give instructions then you’ve got o let him do that.
I’m not sure he’d be doing that with Jose Mourinho mind you, it would be very different with him still in charge, but you’d also have to ask Ronaldo why he feels it’s necessary to stand up and give some instruction in the first place.
We’ve seen him do it on the international stage, most recently at the Euros, barking out orders. That boy will be a manager 100%. I would have a bet on him being Manchester United manager in 18 months.
</blockquote>
Sherwood also said Solskjaer will likely keep his job if Manchester United win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, any of those trophies, then Solskjaer keeps his job, but if they don’t win anything I think they’ve got a manager there in the making.

"I Can See Ronaldo As Manchester United Manager Within 18 Months"

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to reclaim jersey number 7 at Manchester United after rejoining the Red Devils just before the closure of the transfer window.
Edinson Cavani, who is currently allocated seven, is reportedly willing to give up the cherished shirt, which Ronaldo donned before moving to Real Madrid.
There is a precedent for changing Premier League squad numbers during the season, it has emerged.
Ronaldo’s Old Trafford return was finally confirmed Tuesday, with the Portugal star completing his dramatic move from Juventus and becoming a United player for the second time in his career.
Ronaldo made his name during his first spell at Old Trafford wearing the squad number seven, which was previously worn by club heroes, including, George Best, Bryan Robson, David Beckham and Eric Cantona.
However, the shirt number has already been allocated to Cavani for this season and even if the Uruguayan was prepared to give it up, the Premier League would have to agree to the change.
Rule M4 in the Premier League handbook states: 
<blockquote>
While he remains with the Club a Player will retain his shirt number throughout the season for which it was allocated.
</blockquote>
The Telegraph reports that the issue of Ronaldo’s shirt number was raised in talks when the sensational deal for the player was agreed on last week.
Ronaldo’s CR7 brand has been used to sell underwear, hotels, gyms, nutritional supplements and cologne, as well as sports merchandise, and is a major earner.
While Cavani wore seven in United’s 1-0 win at Wolves this weekend, it looks increasingly likely that he would be open to the switch probably to number 21 he wears for Uruguay.
It is currently worn by Daniel James whose move to Leeds United is reportedly imminent.

Cristiano Ronaldo Set To Reclaim Jersey Number 7 At Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo has re-signed for Manchester United on a two-year contract with the option to extend for a further year.
The club announced they had reached an agreement with Juventus to re-sign the 36-year-old Portuguese international on Friday.
Manchester United will pay €15m (£12.9m) plus a further €8m (£6.9m) in add-ons for the Portugal captain, who completed a medical in Lisbon over the weekend.
Speaking after his transfer to the English club was confirmed, Ronaldo said he “cannot wait to play at Old Trafford” and will be joining up with his new teammates after the international break. He said:
<blockquote>
Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday.
I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium and see all the fans again.
I’m looking forward to joining up with the team after the international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead.
</blockquote>
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who played with Ronaldo during his previous spell at United, said:
<blockquote>
You run out of words to describe Cristiano. He is not only a marvellous player but also a great human being.
To have the desire and the ability to play at the top level for such a long period requires a very special person.
I have no doubt that he will continue to impress us all and his experience will be so vital for the younger players in the squad.
</blockquote>
Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 games for United between 2003 and 2009, winning three Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup and two League Cups.

In a post on social media, the former Real Madrid striker did not completely deny a move was possible or commit his future to the Italian side.
But the 36-year-old forward said he was “focused on his work” despite reports linking him with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
Responding to rumours, the Portugal captain called rumours “a disrespect for me as a man and as a player”. He said in an Instagram post: 
<blockquote>
Anyone who knows me is aware of how focused I am on my work. Less talk and more action, this has been my guiding motto since the start of my career. However, in view of everything that’s been said and written recently, I have to set out my position.
More than the disrespect for me as a man and as a player, the frivolous way that my future is covered in the media is disrespectful to all the clubs involved in these rumours, as well as to their players and staff.
My story at Real Madrid has been written. It’s been recorded. In words and numbers, in trophies and titles, in records and in headlines. It’s in the Museum at the Bernabeu Stadium and it’s also in the minds of every fan of the club. And beyond what I achieved, I remember that in those nine years I had a relationship of deep affection and respect for “merengue afición”, an affection and respect that I retain to this day, and that I will always cherish. I know that the true Real Madrid fans will continue to have me in their hearts, and I will have them in mine.
As well as this most recent episode in Spain, there have been frequent news and stories associating me with a number of clubs in many different Leagues, with nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth.
I’m breaking my silence now to say that I can’t allow people to keep playing around with my name. I remain focused on my career and in my work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that I have to face. Everything else? Everything else is just talk.
</blockquote>
Earlier on Tuesday, Real’s new boss Carlo Ancelotti had responded to the rumours in a tweet, dismissing speculation of Ronaldo returning to the Spanish club.
Speculation over Ronaldo’s future has intensified in the days since great rival <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/former-barcelona-captain-lionel-messi-has-agreed-to-join-psg/">Lionel Messi left Barcelona and joined PSG on a two-year deal.</a>

The brace makes Ronaldo the all-time highest goalscorer in the UEFA Euros history with 10 goals ahead of second-placed Michel Platini who has 9 goals while Alan Shearer is in the third position with 7.
This comes as his top “rival” Lionel Messi scored a free-kick against Chile in the Copa America underway in Brazil to become the player with the highest number of free-kick goals.
Messi now has 57 free-kick goals while Ronaldo has 56.

Cristiano Ronaldo Has Become All-time Highest Goalscorer In Euros History

Lionel Messi scored a freekick against Chile in a Copa America match to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo and became the player with the most free-kick goals.
Messi has played almost 145 fewer matches than Ronaldo but now has 57 free-kick goals, one over Cristiano who has 56.
This increases the competition and debate over who is the greatest of all time (GOAT) between Messi and Ronaldo.
Inevitably, Cristiano Ronaldo will be seeking to equal terms or restore his hegemony when the Portugal team plays Hungary tonight in a Euro match.
Watch the video below for Messi’s free-kick goal.

WATCH: Messi Scores To Surpass Ronaldo On Free-kick Goals

French giants, Paris Saint Germain (PSG) are reportedly leading the race to signing Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo amid reports that Manchester United are interested in bringing the 35-year-old back to Old Trafford.
BBC Sports posted on Twitter this Tuesday saying that PSG are reportedly beating Manchester United to signing Ronaldo who currently plies his trade for Italian giants, Juventus.
The reports come after it had also been alleged that the French club is interested in signing Barcelona skipper, Lionel Messi whose future with the Catalans is uncertain.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/04/23/manchester-united-approach-cristiano-ronaldo-for-a-return-to-epl/">Manchester United, have reportedly been in touch with Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent</a> over a possible return to the Premier League for the Portuguese international.
Ronaldo’s future at Juventus has been in doubt ever since their shock Champions League exit at the hands of Porto last month.
Juventus’ nine-year Serie A dominance also appears likely to be coming to an end as they sit 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan with just six games remaining.
Ronaldo previously indicated his desire to retire at Sporting Lisbon, the club that identified him when he was still a nobody.
CR7’s professional journey began at Jose Alvalade Stadium way back in 2002, as he quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young players in the Primeira Liga.
He would later join Manchester United where he partnered with the likes of Wayne Rooney to form a deadly strike force.
Ronaldo’s brilliance attracted the interest of La Liga giants, Real Madrid where he was polished into a complete striker and won several silverware including Champions League titles.

PSG Leads Race To Signing Cristiano Ronaldo Amid Possible Return To Man U Reports

English Premier League (EPL) giants, Manchester United, have been in touch with Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent over a possible return to the Premier League for the player.
The reports are made by Italian media as Ronaldo’s future at Juventus has been in doubt ever since their shock Champions League exit at the hands of Porto last month.
Juventus’ nine-year Serie A dominance also appears likely to be coming to an end as they sit 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan with just six games remaining.
A<a class="class" href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Juventus/23-04-2021/calciomercato-juventus-ronaldo-manchester-united-410395604827_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&amp;origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazzetta.it%2FCalcio%2FCalciomercato%2FJuventus%2F23-04-2021%2Fcalciomercato-juventus-ronaldo-manchester-united-410395604827.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">ccording to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport</a>, Juventus’ current poor run has left the 36-year-old angry and tired of playing for a side that has not been able to match his ambitions this season.
The same outlet claims United have made their interest in bringing the Portugal star back to Old Trafford known, having spoken with his agent Jorge Mendes last week.
Juventus are reportedly willing to sell Ronaldo for as little as £26million (€30m) to get rid of the former Real Madrid star’s £27m (€31m) salary.
Ronaldo is, however, reportedly not motivated to give up such wages until his contract expires in June next year.
The report however adds that Ronaldo could still be tempted to forego financial benefits at Juventus to return to Manchester where he made his name following “a lack of support this season in Italy.”
United’s highest-paid player is David De Gea, who earns £375 000 per week and he is followed by Paul Pogba, who earns a weekly salary of £260 000.
United boss and Ronaldo’s former team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would reportedly be thrilled to coach him for at least a year.
Rumours had also emerged in recent weeks that Ronaldo could return to Spain, but, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez denied the claims saying “the rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Madrid are just rumours from his entourage. There is nothing.”
Ronaldo is Madrid’s all-time top goalscorer with a remarkable 451 goals in just 438 matches for the Spanish giants.

Manchester United Approach Cristiano Ronaldo For A Return To EPL

Paris Saint Germain’s Kylian Mbappe scored a hat trick against Barcelona on Tuesday night in a <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/12/23/messi-scores-his-644th-goal-for-barcelona-to-surpass-peles-643-goals-for-santos/">UEFA Champions League</a> match at Camp Nou.
Mbappe has scored a UCL hat trick at a younger age, 22, compared to living football legends <a href="https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/cristiano-ronaldos-eight-champions-league-hat-tricks" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> and <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/8-lionel-messi-hat-tricks-in-uefa-champions-league" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Lionel Messi.</a>
Barcelona were the first to score as their skipper, Lionel Messi converted from the spot in the 27th minute.
Paris Saint Germain responded immediately as Mbappe scored his first in the 32nd minute before doubling the lead a few minutes after the break.
<div class="imso_gs__gs-r">Moise Kean added agony to La Liga giants when he scored in the 70th minute before Kylian sealed the victory fifteen minutes later. </div>

Mbappe Hat Trick Against Barcelona Triggers Ronaldo, Messi Debate

Brazilian football legend, Pele, has posted on Instagram suggesting that he is still the leading goal scorer of all time contrary to reports saying Ronaldo has surpassed his record.
Pele wrote “Leading Goal Scorer of All Time (1 283)” on his Instagram bio days after a number of media outlets had claimed that Ronaldo’s brace against Udinese graduated him to be the second leading goal scorer of all time.
Ronaldo bagged his 757th and 758th goals in a 4-1 home win against Udinese putting him one above all-time legend Pele whose ‘recognised’ total sits at 757 strikes.
However, the 80-year-old has always claimed he scored far more than that and has doubled down on his claim after global news outlets reported he had been surpassed by CR7.
It is widely accepted hundreds of those goals came during friendly matches, but Pele will not let it go and want them added to his official goals which came during his stellar career between 1956 and 1977 for Santos, New York Cosmos and Brazil.
Lionel Messi, with his 715 goals, is also on track to beat surpass 757 official goals scored by Pele. Messi has 71 goals for Argentina and 644 for Barcelona and is only 33 years old.
Josef “Pepi” Bican, a Czech professional footballer who played as a striker, is regarded as the most prolific goalscorer of all-time in league matches, first-level championships matches, official matches and total matches.

Pele Refutes That Ronaldo Surpassed His Goal Record

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two quickfire goals shortly before the break to hand Juventus victory over Cagliari in a Serie A match played late Saturday.
The Portuguese international had previously scored another brace the day he returned to action after two weeks in self-isolation after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Ronaldo’s scoring lifts Juve from eighth place to the second position, putting them a point behind leaders Milan, who have a game in hand.
Juventus have played a game more than all of the rest of the top five and remain unbeaten in the league this season, alongside Milan and third-placed Sassuolo.

Cristiano Ronaldo Tests Positive For COVID-19

Juventus have said they will have meetings to evaluate “everything” after crashing out of the Uefa Champions League on Friday night.
Juve have since sacked head coach Maurizio Sarri after only one season which they described as very difficult. In a statement, the club said:
<blockquote>The club would like to thank the coach for having written a new page in Juventus’ history with the victory of the ninth-consecutive championship, the culmination of a personal journey that led him to climb all the divisions of Italian football.</blockquote>
Earlier, club president Andrea Agnelli said the club would “take a few days to consider, evaluate everything and discuss how to go forward for next season.”
This is despite the club’s success in the domestic league – Serie A in which they lifted their 9th consecutive league championship.
Agnelli was convinced that 35-year-old Ronaldo, who he described as the best player in the history of the Champions League, would remain for the third and final year of his contract.
Ronaldo’s two goals on Friday were not enough to send Juve to the quarterfinals.
