Cristiano Ronaldo's perfect hat-trick for Juventus against Cagliari saw him break Pele's world record for the highest number of official goals scored.
The 36-year-old striker found the net with a header, a right-footed penalty and a left-foot shot and celebrated by pointing to his ear in an apparent response to recent criticism.
Since making his senior debut at 17, the Portuguese has scored 668 club goals - five with Sporting Lisbon, 118 for Manchester United, 450 for Real Madrid and 95 for Juventus. He has also scored 102 goals for Portugal.
Ronaldo has no intention of slowing down after reaching another milestone following his 36th birthday in February.
“I still feel good, sharp and in a good moment in my life,” the Juventus and Portugal star said at the time. “I hope to play many, many years more, but you never know."
He has won titles with Sporting, Manchester United, Real and Juventus. Winning the European Championship with Portugal in 2016 leaves the World Cup as the only major prize to elude him.
“I win (titles with) every club that I’ve played with,” Ronaldo said. “But (the) World Cup, it’s a dream.”
