'The Story is Far From Over' - Cristiano Ronaldo's Promise After Going Past Pele's Goal Record

 


Portugal and Juventus superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo is widely considered as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, with the striker breaking/creating numerous records during his career so far.


Ronaldo was at it again after netting a hat-trick for Juventus in their 3-1 win over Cagliari in the Serie A on Sunday, to move to 770 goals in his illustrious career so far. The 36-year-old has only now opened up on breaking Brazil legend Pele's disputed record of 767, having exceeded his official number of 757 earlier this year.


“The last few weeks were filled with news and stats considering me the world’s top scorer in football history, overcoming Pele’s 757 official goals. Although I’m thankful for that recognition, now it’s time for me to explain why I didn’t acknowledge that record until this moment," Ronaldo wrote on Instagram.

“My everlasting and unconditional admiration [for Pele] led me to take into account his 767 score, assuming his nine goals for Sao Paulo State Team, as well as his single goal for the Brazilian Military Team, as official goals.


"The world has changed since then and football as changed as well, but this doesn’t mean that we can just erase history. Now I can’t wait for the next games and challenges! The next records and trophies! Believe me, this story is still far from being over. The future is tomorrow and there’s still a lot to win for Juventus and Portugal!"


The Portugal skipper who was linked with a move away from Turin following the Bianconeri's exit at the hands of Porto in the Champions League, has been his usual brilliant self in front of goal, scoring 95 goals in just 122 games for them in all competitions.
