VIDEO: All 251 of Cristiano Ronaldo's goals for Real Madrid
Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo is breathing rarefied air following his two-goal performance against Bayern Munich in Tuesday's Champions League semifinal.
The 29-year-old winger, whose brace helped Madrid crush their European rivals and qualify for the final of the competition, became just the fourth player in the storied history of the Spanish club to reach the 250-goal plateau.
With 251 tallies to his name, the Portuguese superstar trails only Carlos Santillana (289), Alfredo Di Stefano (305) and Raul (323) on the all-time list.
The feat is impressive enough on its own. When considering that he has accomplished it in just 243 matches (!) with the club, it becomes nothing short of mind-blowing.
That's a rate of 1.03 goals per game in a sport where most people are content if they get to celebrate just once over the 90 minutes. Think long and hard about that.
Done? Good. Now sit back and enjoy all of the goals in glorious high definition - and disregard the fact that somewhere in this video, one goal seemed to go missing.

Right foot, left foot, with his head or his heel, Cristiano Ronaldo can do it all.
Barring a significant injury - or transfer, which seems highly unlikely - it's hard to envision a scenario in which he does not break Raul's all-time mark.
