Cristiano Ronaldo Matches Di Stefano's El Clasico Record

Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on yet another record after matching the Clasico goal mark of Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano.

The Portuguese forward was back among the goals on Sunday in his latest outing against Barcelona. He has made a habit of tormenting the Catalan giants down the years, with even this season’s La Liga title winners unable to keep the mercurial 33-year-old quiet.

Ronaldo has now found the target on 18 occasions in meetings between the old adversaries, with nobody to have represented the Blancos able to better that return.

Iconic frontman Di Stefano did manage the feat during his distinguished career, but he has now been caught by a modern day hero.
