Christiano Ronaldo marks the 10-goal point for a 15th straight season on Sunday. Making him the only player to achieve the record in the top five leagues across Europe at the same time.

The Juventus star got a brace as the Old Lady safely whip Udinese 3-1 in Turin. Returning them to top the Serie A table for at least a few hours till the result from Inter’s side is out.

With Ronaldo opening the scoreline in the ninth-minute, firing from just inside the area. After the ball fell over for him following an attempt from his teammate, Paulo Dybala.

He then secures their lead with his second goal just past the half-hour mark. Steers through the net after Gonzalo Higuain’s incisive pass. The goals, however, took his tally to 11 for the march across all competitions.

Ronaldo nearly grabbed his first Serie A hat-trick as he hit the goal-post while another got saved by the opponent’s goalkeeper. Before Ignacio Pussetto got a late consolation for Udinese.

Christiano Ronaldo breaks yet another record as he becomes the only player in Europe’s top five leagues to hit double figures in each of the last 15 seasons

Ronald became the only player to achieve the feat across Europe’s top five leagues

The Portugal star began his double-figure scoring mark in 2005-06 when he caught 12 across all faces for Manchester United. Moving to loads of 23, 42 and 26 before heading to Real Madrid in 2009.

Subsequently, the fewest goals he has in a season in Los Blancos was 33 during his first year at the club.

Meanwhile, he scored 42 and above every other season at Madrid. Recording his best being a striking history of 61 goals in 2014-15.

Also, he got 28 in 43 matches for Juventus in his first campaign in Serie A. Although, he had a tough season-start with his injury, yet reaches his usual tally.

The former United forward keeps the 10-goal streak since his days at Old Trafford, then to Real Madrid and now Juventus. As his brace also let Juve have three first-half goals since February 2018.

He achieves this feat in three different clubs across three territories (Premier League, Laliga, and Serie A). He is truly a great player.
