377 of Ronaldo's 500 goals have been scored for Real Madrid, far surpassing Raul Gonzalez's previous record of 323.

Ronaldo scored 118 goals for Man Utd. The remaining five goals were for another club, Sporting Lisbon.

Ronaldo is also the only player who has scored 500 goals still playing. If he scores 14 more goals in the near future, Messi will catch up with this achievement.

Excluding friendly matches, the "king of football" Pele only has 146 more goals than Ronaldo. Meanwhile, another legend of Brazilian football has 688 goals and is considered the number one club scorer in history.
