Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 760th career goal in Juventus 2-0 win over Napoli in the Italian Super Cup final on Wednesday night, January 20.
Ronaldo inspired Andrea Pirlo’s tutored side to their first silverware of the season with his 64th minute strike and Paolo Dybala stoppage-time goal sealed the much desired victory for the Old Lady.
Meanwhile, according to SunSport FIFA claimed that Biscan had 805 goals during his career in the 1940-50s, and that Ronaldo still needs 45 to catch up.
Santos did earlier claim that club legend Pele scored over 1,000 goals after the Portuguese surpassed the Brazilian feat. Thus, the club still believes he scored more goals than any other player, claiming he had a total of 1,283 strike.

Although, there are questions on whether these were goals scored in ‘official’ games.
The match, showcasing the Serie A and Italian Cup champions, is normally regarded as little more than a friendly.
Ronaldo reached the 760-goal tally in 1040 appearances including the 450 goals for Real Madrid, 118 for Manchester United, 102 for Portugal, 85 for Juventus and five for Sporting Lisbon.
