Goal details
Story and significance
On January 6, 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo reached 400 senior career goals as Real Madrid hosted Celta Vigo in La Liga. His milestone helped turn a difficult match into a 3–0 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Ronaldo met Dani Carvajal's cross at the far post to score Madrid's second goal in the 82nd minute. He struck again in stoppage time from Gareth Bale's delivery, completing a brace and taking his career total to 401.
Ronaldo dedicated the goals to Portuguese legend Eusébio, whose death had been marked by a minute of silence before kickoff. The milestone therefore carried personal significance beyond the result.
