Ronaldo promises 'the story is far from over' after smashing past Pele goal record

Cristiano Ronaldo has broken his silence after exceeding Pele's record for the most goals in a professional career, assuring fans that his story is "far from over" after notching up another major milestone.

The Portuguese notched up a first-half hat-trick for Juventus against Cagliari in Serie A on Sunday, to further his lead at the summit of the league's goalscoring charts.

The feat has taken the 36-year-old to 770 goals in all competitions across a trophy-laden career - but he has only now opened up on breaking Brazil legend Pele's disputed record of 767, having exceeded his official number of 757 earlier this year.
