Ronaldo equals Casillas' Champions League record after starting for Man Utd vs Young Boys

Cristiano Ronaldo has equaled Iker Casillas' record for Champions League appearances after starting Manchester United's game against Young Boys.

Ronaldo made his first appearance for Man Utd in the competition since 2009 on Tuesday as he featured in the club's group-stage opener.

In doing so, Ronaldo matched Casillas for the most Champions League appearances with the two Real Madrid legends each playing 177 games in Europe's top competition.

Ronaldo's records

Matching Casillas is far from the only record that Ronaldo has earned in the Champions League.

He's the competition's all-time top goalscorer with 134 finishes, including 17 in 2013-14, the most in a single campaign.
