Cristiano Ronaldo's goal against Schalke in the Champions League not only ended a three-game goal drought (yes, for some, that was enough to describe it as a drought) but also elevated him to joint-third on the list of Real Madrid's all-time leading scorers.
Ronaldo will surely overtake the only two others ahead of him in due time—and on current form, most likely in 2015.
"His header against Schalke brings the forward's tally with the Whites to 290 goals, thus equalling Carlos Santillana's record. The Portuguese star has reached this milestone after 280 games, while the Cantabrian needed 645 matches to do so. The only players ahead of Ronaldo are Raul (323) and [Alfredo] Di Stefano (308)".
Ronaldo has just turned 30 and has been with Real Madrid for five-and-a-half seasons.
