THE TOWERING PRESENCE of Lionel Messi – in footballing terms, anyway – may have reduced him to the status of also-ran in bookish discussions of “greatness” and goal-scoring ability, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s record at Real Madrid is beginning to take on a truly staggering statistical dimension.
Last night, in just his 92nd La Liga start, he scored his 99th and 100th goals for Los Blancos.
Statisticians tell me that works out at over a goal a game.
Cripes!
