Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 500th goal


Real Madrid forward Critiano Ronaldo scored his 500th and 501st career goals.
Ronaldo became the first player to ever score 80 goals in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk last time out, and his couple against Malmö enabled him to join Raúl at the top of Real Madrid's all-time goalscoring list.
And so, when Isco sent Ronaldo through on goal on Wednesday, footballing nerds everywhere were already adding another notch to their almanacs. It wasn't a spectacular strike by any means, but one that perfectly illustrated the superhuman contradiction that sets Ronaldo apart: he's at once red hot and ice cold.
Despite moving at a speed that most could only dream of achieving, he maintains a mental clarity and muscular dexterity that makes him impossible to stop. Cristiano Ronaldo moves fast, he thinks even faster. Who knows how many more he may yet score?
