Pele congratulates Cristiano Ronaldo on the all-time goal record of the Juventus forward.
The two were tied to 767 official career goals (club and international), but Ronaldo’s first-half hat trick on Sunday’s meeting with Cagliari saw him step up to 770, which some consider being a world record.
Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo praised by Brazilian legend Pele for overtaking him in the all-time goal charts.
However, the overtaking of Pele is a monumental accomplishment for Ronaldo, and the Brazilian took Instagram to give his congratulations.
“Life is a solo flight. Each makes his own journey,” he began. “And what a beautiful journey you are having. I admire you a lot, I love watching you play and this is no secret to anyone. Congratulations on breaking my record of goals in official matches.”
