Over the years, Ronaldo has scripted countless records to his name, while he shows no signs of slowing down. Some of those records are so great that they look unlikely to be broken anytime soon, as we take a look at them on his 36th birthday.

Scoring 60-plus goals in four consecutive years: Ronaldo is undoubtedly a goal-scoring machine. Between 2011-14, he had scored 60-plus goals across club and nation every calendar year. Also, he is the only player to have scored 50-plus in seven successive years. No way these records are being broken anytime soon.

50-plus goals in six successive seasons: On the same lines, between 2010-11 to 2015-16, Ronaldo scored 50-plus goals consecutively in the six seasons. Although his close rival, Lionel Messi is capable of beating him, judging by the Argentine's lack of consistency, Ronaldo's record seems likely to stay for some time now.

Fastest to 150 goals in La Liga: Ronaldo played for Real Madrid, his only club in La Liga. While he scored 450 goals for Los Blancos, he was the fastest to achieve 150 goals in La Liga. He managed to do so within 140 matches.

Most goals in UEFA Champions League: Ronaldo has managed to win five UCL titles, while four of them came with Madrid. Naturally, he has also scored a vast number of goals in the tournament. To date, he has 135 goals to his name, while Messi has 118. Not sure if Messi would surpass him, but no other guy can, as the record is likely to stay unbroken for some time.

Winning titles in top-three European leagues: While Ronaldo might make it look easy, it is certainly not an easy task to win the league title in any country. Furthermore, Ronaldo has done the same in three different European countries, which are the most competitive three leagues in the continent (English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A). He is the first player to do so. In comparison, this record might be broken in the future, but not anytime soon.
