Cristiano Ronaldo sets new Primera Liga scoring record
Page last updated at 20:27 GMT, Saturday, 21 May 2011 21:27 UK

Cristiano Ronaldo set a new Primera Liga single-season scoring record with his 39th and 40th of the campaign for Real Madrid against Almeria.

He notched his first after four minutes and his second on 77 as Real thumped their already-relegated opponents 8-1.

His double meant he moved two clear of the previous mark, which he jointly held with Real's Hugo Sanchez and Athletic Bilbao striker Telmo Zarra.

Sanchez scored 38 in the 1989/90 season and Zarra's 38 came in 1959/60.

Xabi Alonso's free-kick to the far post was headed back across goal by Sergio Ramos and the unmarked Ronaldo was on hand to poke in the opening goal.

His second came late in the game when he fired a long-range effort inside the far post.

Emmanuel Adebayor, whose loan spell from Manchester City is expiring, signed off with three goals, Karim Benzema bagged two and youth team player Joselu notched one at the end.

Ronaldo, who had scored nine goals in his previous three games heading into the final fixture, has netted 53 in all competitions for Madrid this season.

"To score so many goals in a season is very hard. I have to thank my team-mates," Ronaldo said. "The record is for them and the fans too.

"It's good to finish the season in the best manner possible."

Ronaldo and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi are the first Spanish league players to score at least 50 goals in all competitions in one season.

Messi was left out of the squad for champions Barcelona's 3-1 league win over Malaga on Saturday.

But the Argentine can add to his tally of 52 next Saturday when Barca face Manchester United in the Champions League final.

Much though I hate the over-hyped lady-boy, you can't argue with that rate of hitting the onion bag.

86 in 89 games for RM according to wiki. Incredible, but he's still a twat.

He's a twat, a selfish twat. but you can't argue with those numbers. It must get right on his tits that he is in Messi's shadow somewhat.

Amazing record but he did not win La Liga or Champ League so unlucky!!!

All this talk of 'twats ? He's a phenomenal footballer (not as good as Messi).

Average - good player at best.

spanish league is such a joke. cristiano scored only one goal from penalty against barca in the league, he has been racking up numbers in meaningless games against poor teams

Yeah right.
We have players banging in 100 a season.

Aside from his petulance, I respect him. The guy playing at age 21 after a few seasons with the Mancs looked nothing like the goal-scoring machine he's made himself into. That's all dedication to being the best athlete and player he can be. The guy doesn't even allow himself to drink alcohol.

ALPH1217 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2011, 03:35:11 AM »

Easily one of the best players I've ever seen.

BigMarcs · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2011, 03:35:22 AM »

Sensational player. The number of goals/appearances ratio tells it all. Who cares if its against the small teams they all count the same.

Still a twat.

Don't worry mate, he comes with a disclaimer!

'boring wum who thinks La Liga is on a par with the Scottish Premier League... clueless too... don't bother arguing with me because it will just make your head hurt...'

Don't mind him since he left the Mancs. Quality player, 4th best player in the world.

Red_Isle_Chap · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2011, 05:36:15 AM »

He's a fucking helmet, but he is a very, very good footballer. I can't see how anyone can say differently to be honest.

RedGuy · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2011, 06:11:19 AM »

Fantastic achievement, but tbf the defenses in La Liga really are shit. In what other league would the second placed team score 6 against the third placed team?

Juan Loco · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2011, 06:46:41 AM »

Doesn't get the plaudits he deserves these days because he plays the same time as Messi at his best and he's not half as likeable.

Better than Zidane.

*Walks away from the blue touch paper*

I would say he is a different kind of player from Zidane.

Yup. A better one

. Better than Ronaldinho was too.

177 goals in 244 games over the last 5 seasons.

He's fucking incredible and I absolutely love his ability, his dedication to his craft and the amount of work he puts in to try and be the best. He may be doing it so HE can be the best and all that but thats his choice to make. Still, Messi is better and this lad is still a manc twat.

Hard to believe the Mancs had both him and Tevez and we took them to the last day.

Not when you remember we had Mascherano and Alonso in the centre of the park.

He's a massive, massive c*nt, but a truly talented one at that.

If he wasn't such a moaning bastard on the pitch then he'd be held in a higher regard IMO.

dotmotion · « **Reply #36 on:** May 22, 2011, 08:50:38 AM »

I've grown to like him a little more since he left United. Exceptionally gifted player and deserves this record.

The guy is a bellend.

He is also very good at football and has what is a fantastic scoring record.

I would also just like to state incase didn't make myself clear the first time around, that he is a bellend.

carrolluptop · « **Reply #39 on:** May 22, 2011, 10:08:10 AM »

I would prefer him to Messi at Liverpool.

WHY you ask?? he is proven in this league, Messi aint.
