Juventus superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo has now moved above Brazil football legend, Pele to climb second in the all-time goalscoring charts.

Ronaldo’s two strikes against Udinese on Sunday helped him achieve the feat and move closer to becoming the all time highest goal scorer in the game of football.

The 35-year-old opened the scoring in the first half with a superb strike pass a helpless Juan Musso.

He came back in the second half to score his second as the Old Lady extended their lead to 3-0 at the Allianz Stadium.
