VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo scores 500th career goal
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of soccer's biggest stars, and with a goal against Malmo, he has also entered very exclusive company: the Real Madrid man now has 500 career goals to his name.
Ronaldo scored his 500th career goal with relative ease, picking up a pass wide open on the right wing and beating goalkeeper Johan Wiland with a well-placed shot. He celebrated with his signature flexed-arm stance as he reached yet another milestone.
The Portuguese winger has notched 322 goals for Real Madrid and is only one away from equaling the all-time club record set by Raul.
