SportBook Service | Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more Champions League goals than Manchester United since he left to join Real Madrid

CRISTIANO RONALDO has scored more goals on his own in the Champions League than Manchester United managed as a team since 2009.

Ronaldo, who has joined Serie A giants Juventus in a 99million deal, bagged 105 Champions League goals during nine unforgettable years.

Man Utd as a whole managed just 99 in 61 games during that same period from the 2009-10 season.

They reached the final in 2011 but lost 3-1 to Barcelona after being played off the park.

Since then the best they have done is being knocked out in the quarter-final stage to Bayern Munich in April 2014. United played in the Europa League in 2011-12, 2015-16 and won the second-tier competition in 2016-17.

In terms of goals alone, Ronaldo, 33, by himself would be a formidable opponent in Europe's top competition.

Paris Saint-German scored 122, Arsenal 125 and Chelsea 141 during that same period from 2009.

The top three teams for Champions League goals scored in that period are Real Madrid on 156 (excluding Ronaldo's goals), Barcelona on 220 and Bayern Munich on 237.

Funnily enough, one of Ronaldo's most incredible records is against his new employers.

His tengoals against Juventus in the Champions League is a record - the Portuguese is the only player to have reached double figures against a single club in the Champions League.

And his time at the Bernabeu as a whole is mind-boggling.

He's scored better than a goal every game - 450 in 438 matches in all competitions - with an average of a goal for every 71 minutes played.

In comparison, the second highest goalscorer for the club, Raul, has 127 fewer goals... in 303 MORE matches.

He is the top scorer in Champions League history with 120 - some 20 more than Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo's 34 assists in the Champions League are another record, while his 17 goals in 2013-14 - the year Real Madrid completed 'La Decima' is the best in a single campaign.

On top of that, his seven Champions League hat-tricks are a shared record with Lionel Messi and he is the only player to score in three Champions League finals.
