Cristiano Ronaldo opens up on 'breaking records' days after being overtaken by Lionel Messi

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up on 'breaking records' just days after Lionel Messi went ahead of him for the most non-penalty goals by a single player in football history.

Messi's recent goal against Lyon in Ligue 1 means the Argentine has now bagged 672 non-penalty goals in total, one ahead of Ronaldo, who has played 145 more games.

Ronaldo scored his first goal of the new campaign in United's 2-0 win over Sheriff in the Europa League last week. In contrast, Paris Saint-Germain attacker Messi has found the net six times in 11 appearances this season.
