Cristiano Ronaldo hit the 150 goal mark when he netted the first of his two goals in Real Madrid’s 4-1 win over Getafe on Sunday.

Only 19 footballers have scored more than 150 goals or more in La Liga’s history, but Ronaldo has been the fastest, as he has only needed 140 games to reach that number.

The Portuguese is also the only player who has hit that mark with an average of more than one goal per match. After Getafe’s game, Ronaldo has scored 151 goals in the Spanish league.

Ferenc Puskas Puskas (169 goals), Alfredo di Stefano (178) and Manuel Pahino (191) are his next targets. Leo Messi needed 203 games to reach 150 goals.

Ronaldo also broke another record last Sunday in Getafe’s visit to Santiago Bernabeu. He surpassed Hugo Sanchez as the 5th Real Madrid’s all-time goal scorer, with 208 goals. Only Puskas, Di Stefano, Santillana and Raul Gonzalez remain over him in the table.

CR7 scored 26 goals in his first season at Real Madrid, an exception record that he smashed the following two years with 41 and 46 goals respectively. Last season he scored 34.
