King of Goals! C.Ronaldo Receives Special Award as Real Madrid Pay Homage to the 500-goal Hero (Photos)

 

At a ceremony at the Santiago Bernabeu, Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated becoming Real Madrid's top goalscorer of all time with all his team-mates present to support his achievements.

 

Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Marcelo and more watched on and applauded the 30-year-old Portuguese star, as well as his mother, son, and agent, Jorge Mendes.

 

Although official records state he is only level with club legend Raul, on 323 goals, Ronaldo himself believes, along with the club and Spanish newspaper Marca, that he scored his 324th against Malmo in the Champions League on Wednesday, thereby breaking the record.

 

Club President, Florentino Perez gave an opening speech, before Ronaldo delivered one of his own, followed by a posed photo with his team-mates who joined him on the stage.

 

 

Ronaldo who has scored more than 500 goals in his professional career also posed for more photos with his family on a stage decorated with all the trophies he has won as a Real Madrid player, including his three Ballon d'Ors.
