Footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has created and broke a number of records in his illustrious career so far, with the 33-year-old almost setting a new one every time he sets foot on the pitch.
Ronaldo finds himself in the history books once again as he scored Juventus' 5000th goal in the Serie A, making the Bianconeri the first club in Italy's top flight to reach the mark. The Portugese star scored via a penalty in the 70th minute to help them beat Torino in the Derby della Mole.
Juve's 1000th goal came way back in 1948 courtesy of Carlo Parola while Gianni Rossi netted their 2000th goal in 1962. 19-years later Massimo Briaschi scored number 3,000 with former Italy striker Marco Di Vaio scoring their 4000th goal in 2003.
With his strike Ronaldo finds himself in the history books for Juventus, as their win on the night was their eighth in succession away from home, equalling their longest winning run on the road in the top flight.
Juventus are still unbeaten in the Serie A and have now secured 46 points from 16 games, 11 points ahead of second placed Napoli who have played a game lesser. They will next be seen in action on Saturday, the 22nd of December when they host AS Roma in the Serie A.
