Cristiano Ronaldo is a decent player.
The Portuguese superstar has taken just 308 games to surpass what Real Madrid legend Raul did in 741.
Ronaldo could play 433 more times for the club without scoring and still lead the charts ahead of the Spanish striker who was once heralded as the most prolific player the Bernabeu had ever seen.
Ronnie's strike against Malmo midweek though takes him ahead of Raul in freak time and, even if the official stats still have him on 323 goals, Real Madrid don't.
A free kick in 2010 against Sociedad deflected off the head of Pepe and the league awarded the goal to the defender. The club didn't.

And, so, after 324 goals - or 323, whatever it is - Real Madrid have paid tribute to the genius that is Cristiano Ronaldo with a frightening compilation of his six and a bit seasons with the Spanish giants.
The top goalscorer in Real Madrid's history.
