Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 600th career club goal on his 801th appearance as Serie A champions Juventus drew 1-1 with Inter Milan on Saturday night.

A week after helping the Old Lady wrap up the Scudetto for a record 35th time and for the eighth time in a row, the legendary Portuguese star brought up the incredible milestone during his side's visit to the San Siro.

Juventus fell behind to an early Radja Nainggoin goal only for Ronaldo to net the equaliser in the 65th minute and bring up his 600th goal before his great rival Lionel Messi, who is on 598 albeit having played 682 games.

Ronaldo has netted 600 club goals across 17 seasons in four different European leagues, with his most prolific era obviously being in Spain with Real Madrid, for whom he scored 450 times in 438 games.

At Manchester United he netted 118 goals in 292 appearances following his early spell at Sporting Lisbon which heralded five goals while at Juventus he's now up to 27 goals in 39 outings.

Serie A is also the third major European league that Ronaldo has triumphed in having also bagged three Premier League crowns and two La Ligas.

Less than an hour after Ronaldo reached this milestone, Messi scored his 598th goal in sealing his 10th La Liga title and Barcelona's eighth in the last 11 years, so once again the debate on who the greatest player arises.
