Cristiano Ronaldo Sets Major Milestone with Hat-Trick Against Tottenham

Cristiano Ronaldo was on top of his game during Manchester United’s latest clash with Tottenham Hotspur. He led his team to a 3-2 victory with an epic hat-trick, bringing his career total to 807 goals, with some crediting him as the top goal scorer of all time. According to several major media outlets, Ronaldo became a top goal scorer in recognized FIFA games after his hat-trick on Saturday, but there’s no clear consensus on the record. He reportedly surpassed Josef Bican’s figure of 805 goals, but the Czech FA argues that he actually scored 821 goals, while the Guinness Book of World Records claims that Pele holds the record with 1,279 goals. Whether he broke the record or not, Ronaldo’s performance on Saturday night was pretty glorious. He single-handedly led United to their latest win, scoring a total of three goals – his first hat-trick for the team since 2008. The Portuguese football superstar celebrated his win on social media, saying nothing beats the feeling of being back on the pitch and helping the team with goals and effort. "We've proven once again that we can beat any team in any given day, as long as we work hard and stand together as one. There are no limits for Man United! No matter what! Let's go, Devils!" wrote Ronaldo.
