Cristiano Ronaldo did not wait any longer to become football's all-time top scorer. The Portuguese ace was not able to do so during the weekend, but with a trophy at stake, he delivered a good performance for Juventus and scored his 760th professional goal.
Up to the point where CR7 scored, both teams came close to open up the scoring, but a well-placed corner and an unfortunate deflection by Napoli's defense saw Cristiano all alone inside the six-yard box to score the historic goal.
