Goal details
Story and significance
On September 30, 2015, Cristiano Ronaldo reached 500 senior career goals as Real Madrid visited Malmö in the UEFA Champions League group stage. His first-half finish opened the scoring in a 2–0 victory.
Isco released Ronaldo during a fast break, and the forward used the available space to place his shot beyond the goalkeeper in the 29th minute. He added another goal in the final minute to complete a brace.
The first strike delivered career goal 500 for club and country. The second brought Ronaldo level with Raúl on 323 Real Madrid goals, giving both of his finishes distinct historical significance.
