Cristiano Ronaldo now seems to rewrite the goalscoring history books every week, and with Saturday’s latest strike for Real Madrid the Portugal superstar broke a La Liga record that had stood for 79 years. Ronaldo’s second-minute goal in Real’s 4-0 victory over Granada on Saturday took his total to 17 in the opening 10 games of the Spanish league season. That surpassed Isidro Langara’s long-standing record of 16 goals for Real Oviedo in 1935. Last month the 29-year-old superstar beat Esteban Echevarria’s record from 1943 of 14 goals in seven La Liga games after scoring a double in a 5-0 win over Levante.
