Sports News PHOTOS: Ronaldo receives award for breaking Real Madrid scoring award
OCT 2, 2015 LISTEN

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated becoming Real Madrid's top goalscorer of all time at a ceremony at the Santiago Bernabeu, with all his team-mates present to support his achievements as the Portuguese superstar admitted he had been a 'bit of a b******' with the media.

The likes of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Marcelo watched on and applauded the 30-year-old Portuguese star, as well as his mother, son, and agent Jorge Mendes.

Although official records state he is only level with club legend Raul, on 323 goals, Ronaldo himself believes, along with the club and Spanish newspaper Marca, that he scored his 324th against Malmo in the Champions League on Wednesday, thereby breaking the record.

The disputed goal was a strike against Real Sociedad in 2010, which hit his team-mate Pepe and looped into the net.

Pepe generously said Cristiano should have been awarded the goal at the time, and the centre back was present and correct at the ceremony, sitting in the front row in an eye-catching, skin-tight leather jacket.

President Florentino Perez gave an opening speech, before Ronaldo delivered one of his own, followed by a posed photo with his team-mates who joined him on the stage.

They left, before Ronaldo posed for more photos with his family on a stage decorated with all the trophies he has won as a Real Madrid player, including his three Ballon d'Ors.

He then walked out of the room with his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr in tow as he was again applauded the the assembled group.
