Cristiano Ronaldo the record breaker! Juventus star becomes the ALL-TIME leading scorer in FOOTBALLING HISTORY with his 760th-career goal in Italian Super Cup final against Napoli
- Cristiano Ronaldo re-wrote the history record books on Wednesday night
- He surpassed Czech-Austrian striker Josef Bican’s record of 759 career goals
- Going into Wednesday’s clash with Napoli, Ronaldo was level with Bican’s goals
- However, he took his stunning tally to 760 goals with a goal against their rivals

A corner was swung over and Napoli fluffed their lines – leaving Ronaldo with the perfect opportunity to thump into the net left-footed.
