Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, yesterday set another record when he became the active player to have scored the most headed goals in the La Liga.
Ronaldo surpassed Atletico Bilbao’s Aritz Aduriz.
Ronaldo scored in the 41st minute in Madrid’s 2-1 win over Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Sunday when he headed home Marcelo’s cross.
Ronaldo has scored 46 headed goals in La Liga, more than any other current player in the competition, surpassing Aduriz’s 45.
After Real Betis took the lead through Antonio Sanabria, Marcelo’s cross located an unmarked Ronaldo who powered his
header into the net for the equalizer.
Sergio Ramos sealed maximum points with an 81st minute winner.
The Portuguese’s header was his 19th league goal of the season and it allowed him to leapfrog Aduriz who was tied with the
Portuguese star on 45 headers before the game.
