Not a fan of the Messi/Ronaldo debate (just enjoy them both!), but was surprised to hear today that Real Madrid have only won La Liga once in the time that Ronaldo has been there (six years).
Next on his list of records is the number of mens international caps. He has 180 and according to wiki the record is 195. Although there is a guy still playing for Kuwait who has 185.
For all time club/country appearances he needs 125 more games to get 2nd place, but needs to play most games for about another 6-7 years to get near Peter Shilton's record. Unlikely but with him you never know.

Half a dozen cup games minimum in the CL, a long FA cup run, 38 games in the league, a world cup and a few other international games, he could get another 125 games in by the end of next season!

Haven't done it for a while :-)
Ronaldo gets compared to Messi
Case closed.
To put his record into perspective, England's all time record scorer Wayne Rooney and France's record scorer Thierry Henry, combined scored 104 goals.
his overall stats are just ridiculous
even at 36 he'll still bang goals in for Utd

He'll be back on penalties
A lot of top players don't even get anywhere near 60 in their whole career.
Van Persie 50
Thierry Henry 51
Rooney 53
Cavani 54
Batistuta 54
Romario 55
Just a few examples.
