Cristiano Ronaldo breaks another record by surpassing his former teammate

While the Portuguese legend added a new record to the records he broke, this time he passed an old teammate.

Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned to Manchester United by signing one of the most important signings of the summer transfer period, set a new record in his second Champions League match with his team. Playing in the Giants League for the 178th time, Ronaldo surpassed his former teammate Iker Casillas and became the holder of the record.

Ronaldo, who made 54 appearances in the Champions League with Manchester United, achieved this 101 times with Real Madrid and 23 times with Juventus. In this cup, 36-year-old Ronaldo, who has five championships, one with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid, is also the top scorer in the history of the Champions League.

In the list of players with the most appearances in the Champions League, Ronaldo and Casillas are followed by Barcelona legends Xavi and Messi, while Real Madrid's unforgettable striker Raul takes the fifth place. While the top five on the list consist of former Barcelona and Real Madrid players, it is noteworthy that all the players in the top five have won the trophy.

Despite the offer from Manchester City, Ronaldo, who returned to his former team Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson's interference, started the season with a goal in the Champions League, but could not prevent his team from losing to Young Boys despite airing the nets. Ronaldo, who was on the field in the Villarreal match, thus managed to break a new record.
