Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 759th goal of his career last night against Sassuolo.
According to quite relevant world media and precise statistical data, the Juventus striker thus became the best scorer in the history of football, counting official matches.
According to many, he equaled the score of Jozef Bican, a football player from the Czech Republic, who played from 1931 to 1955.
Bican played for the national teams of Austria and Czechoslovakia, played for Rapid from Vienna, Admira, Slavia Prague...
Of course, at that time, collecting data and storing it was much different and more difficult.
And so there was confusion.
While the world media reports that Ronaldo has reached the Bican record, the official website of the World Football Federation (FIFA) claims completely different.
According to FIFA, Bican finished his career with 805 goals, so Ronaldo needs 46 more goals for the record.
According to FIFA, Bican scored 805 goals in only 530 matches.
Officially, Ronaldo needed 759 matches to score 1.037 goals.
Recently, Leo Messi broke Pele's record for the number of goals scored in the shirt of one club, but Santos disputed that fact.
