Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice for Real Madrid
in the first half of their Champions League last
16, second leg, match against Schalke on
Tuesday to set a new record for goals in
European competition with 78.
Ronaldo’s header in the 25th minute from a
corner by Tony Kroos cancelled out an opener
for the Germans by Christian Fuchs five minutes
earlier and equalled the record of 77, held by
former Real striker Raul.
After Klaas Jan Huntelaar had restoreed
Schalke’s lead, Ronaldo equalised for a second
time just before the break, with his 78th
European goal in all.
It also took him to a Champions League total of
75, equalling the record held by his Barcelona
arch-rival Lionel Messi.
Real won the first leg in Gelsenkirchen 2-0.
