Is Cristiano Ronaldo soccer's all-time top scorer? Or is it Pele? Josef Bican? We may never know for sure

Cristiano Ronaldo has grown accustomed to breaking one goal-scoring record after another, but the latest milestone might just be the most important of his career.

By scoring against Napoli in a 2-0 win in the Italian Supercup on Wednesday, Ronaldo scored the 760th goal of his professional career and, therefore, apparently passed the reported tally achieved by Austrian-born Czech striker Josef Bican (759*).

On Jan. 4 it was reported that Ronaldo's two goals against Udinese saw him pass Brazil legend Pele (757*), arguably the greatest goal scorer of all time, and took him to within one strike of the top.
