Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench to score the winner against Everton yesterday, with this goal particularly special to him personally as it was the 700th of his club career.
The Portuguese international will undoubtedly become one of the game’s all-time greats, and Fabrizio Romano believes there is even more to come from him in the years to come, even as he approaches his 38th birthday.
Writing in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside, Romano paid tribute to Ronaldo after this historic goal and tried to pick his favorite moment from the veteran striker’s incredible career.
Although yesterday’s goal marked an important moment in Ronaldo’s club career, Romano singled out the player’s success with the Portuguese national team at Euro 2016 as perhaps the highlight of many in his career thus far.
“What a moment for Cristiano Ronaldo yesterday when he reached 700 career club goals!” Roman wrote.
“There are too many Cristiano moments to choose a favourite. If I had to choose one, I think winning the European Championship with Portugal was something incredible. For everything he has achieved at club level, I think winning a major trophy with his country was a different kind of achievement.
“He is a true legend of the game, and I think he can still score a lot of goals for at least two or three more years. His professionalism was once again excellent, at a difficult time for Manchester United”.

United fans will be delighted to see that Ronaldo can still make an impact for Erik ten Hag’s side, even if he hasn’t had many chances to play so far this season.
The 37-year-old showed all his usual quality and composure to score yesterday’s winner at Goodison Park and surely deserves more chances this season.
