Pele congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo on the all-time goal record reached by the Juventus forward.
The overtaking of Pele is a monumental accomplishment for Ronaldo, and the Brazilian took to Instagram to give his congratulations.
“Life is a solo flight. Each makes his own journey,” he began. “And what a beautiful journey you are having. I admire you a lot, I love watching you play and this is no secret to anyone. Congratulations on breaking my record of goals in official matches.”
The Brazilian legend thus congratulated the Juventus forward for overtaking him in the all-time goal charts.
On Sunday’s meeting with Cagliari, the two were tied to 767 official career goals (club and international).
But Ronaldo’s first-half hat trick saw him step up to 770, which some consider to be a world record.
