The Portuguese hitman is at the half-way mark after three complete seasons, and has a shot at overhauling the highest scorers mark at the Santiago Bernabeu.
With his brace against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 Captain has not only been cast in the
'Top 10' Top Scorers in the history of Real Madrid, but threatens the absolute record: the 323 strikes that Raul achieved in 16 seasons.
In the little time he has been at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ronaldo has raced on to become the ninth-best scorer in the history of Madrid. With his hat-trick against Deportivo La Coruna, the Madeira born attacker took Amancio Amaro’s place in the standings.
Amaro scored 155 goals during his 14 seasons with the Spanish giants.
However, it raises the question that where will Ronaldo stand at the end of his existing contract with Los Blancos. His first three seasons in the Spanish capital has seen him improve his tally with an average of 48.6 goals. If he is able to maintain his
production rate for the duration of his six year contract, numbers against his name will be up to 292 strikes.
It effectively means that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Gonzalez’s Real Madrid record of 323. With the Portuguese striker improving on his output every year, 54 goals in 2010/11 campaign and 60 in the 2011/12 La Liga title winning season,
the race is on.
Ronaldo’s 161 goals now represent 49.8% of the 323 of Raul’s in Real Madrid’s history books. The really striking statistic is the comparison of averages: Ronaldo only required 155 games with the white officers to reach the mark, while Raul needed 741 games.
It shows that the 27-year-old has slashed half of his predecessor '7 'of Madrid, requiring just 20.9% of the games he played.
Furthermore, the former Manchester United attacker’s production has increased year on year since joining Madrid. In his first year he boasted of 0.94 goals per game, the second one resulted in 1.09 , while in the third and the present campaign, despite a
late start it stands at 1.27.
The eight players who lead the scoring tally, Emilio Butragueno and Pirri, with 171 targets, are in the firing line of the Portugal captain.
