There was a time, when Cristiano Ronaldo stepped on the field, records would be turned upside down. The Portuguese star has left that time behind?
Somewhat. And anyway, the weight of his 38-year-old age can no longer be denied. However, the Portuguese legend is occasionally seen on this road. Ronaldo's Al Nasr drew 1-1 against Egypt's Zamalek yesterday in the Arab Club Champions Cup. Ronaldo equalized the Saudi club by scoring a great header 3 minutes before the scheduled time. And with this goal, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner set a new record.
According to the Spanish media AS, Ronaldo broke the record of the late German legend Gerd Müller with a headed goal against the Egyptian giants. Müller of 'Der Bomber' fame held the record for the highest number of headed goals in an official match in football history. Heade scored 144 goals for the '74 World Cup winner, who retired in 1981. Ronaldo broke his record yesterday after 42 years. The Portuguese star's tally at the head stands at 145. Spain and Real Madrid former striker Carlos Santillana is in third place with 125 goals after Ronaldo and Muller. Brazil's legend Pele, who scored 124 goals at the head, is fourth.

The equalizer against Zamalek was Ronaldo's 16th for Al Nasr and 840th of his professional career. Most of Ronaldo's goals are scored with his right foot. This is his strength. Ronaldo's number of goals without his right foot is now 300. This goal came from a combination of head, left foot and others.
In the early days of his career, Ronaldo was not that efficient at the head. Ronaldo didn't get much freedom to play in attack until his first term at Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon. But he got that freedom by joining Real Madrid and gradually became more formidable in the air. He has a great header against Manchester United in the 2012-13 Champions League. Scored a header with a jump of 2.93m, which is still the record for the highest goal jump by any footballer.
There have also been scientific studies on Ronaldo's jumping ability and floating in space. This is explained in the documentary 'Cristiano Ronaldo: Tested to the Limit'. In 2011, scientists at the University of Chichester conducted biometric tests on Ronaldo and found out that Ronaldo can jump higher than an average NBA player.
