Cristiano Ronaldo once again wrote his name in the football record books on the occasion of his 600th game in the league.

When he scored Juventus' third goal in a 3-0 win over Spezia on Tuesday, Ronaldo became the first player to score at least 20 goals in 12 consecutive seasons in Europe's top five leagues.

Alvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa scored Juventus' first two goals before Ronaldo ended up with a counterattack in the final minutes of the game.

Thus, Ronaldo has scored 20 goals in 21 league games this season and remains the top scorer in Serie A, two goals ahead of Inter's Romelu Lukaku.

Last month, Ronaldo was thought to have become the all-time leading goalscorer, though the debate remains as to whether he has surpassed the controversial number of the late Austro-Czech striker Josef Bican.

He is the first player to win titles in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. The 36-year-old is also closer to the international goalscoring record after scoring his 102nd goal for Portugal last year.
