Cristiano Ronaldo reaches a massive landmark!

Cristiano Ronaldo has been subjected to a lot of criticism in the recent past. However, the Portuguese soccer legend has proved time and again that his second name is ‘controversy’. He tried to win back the fans on his side after saying that he was in Saudi Arabia to help the sport grow. But the former Manchester United star didn’t start off his career in the Middle East too well, before the last game.

Ronaldo stunned the soccer universe after he netted four goals against Al-Wehda. The Portuguese soccer legend took a few games to settle into the new league. A few soccer fans were angered by that and started calling him ‘incompetent’ and ‘finished’ all over again. However, the 38-year-old proved to the world again that he’s still the greatest of the sport.

The 38-year-old’s 38-point game was enough to crown him with the highest points in NBA history.
