Cristiano Ronaldo may have already broken Raul's Real Madrid goalscoring record, depending on who you ask.
Ronaldo's two strikes for Real in the 2-0 win over Malmo on Wednesday night puts him level with Bernabeu legend Raul in the official record books on 323 goals.
But the club themselves have the Portuguese forward on 324, congratulating him late on Wednesday on the official club website for breaking Spaniard Raul's record, which has stood since he left the club in 2010.
Even Ronaldo himself referenced the 'record-breaking' feat, saying: "Breaking this record at the best club in the world is a real honour for me.
"I have great admiration for Raul. He sent me a message after the match congratulating me."
A problem with the count? Not quite. The mystery goal in question came in September 2010, a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad, where Ronaldo's 74th minute free-kick deflected off the back of compatriot Pepe and flew into the corner of the net.
While the record books gave the goal to Pepe, Real Madrid and the defender himself awarded the winner to Ronaldo, telling Marca at the time: "Regardless of what the official match report says, the goal belongs to Cristiano.
"The ball hit me and then went in, but the credit should go to the player who took the free kick.
"When we are talking about that goal, I absolutely do not have a problem in awarding it to him. The ball went in and he deserves the credit for it."
The free-kick was on target, and Real players congratulated the forward after the goal, but should it have gone to Pepe or Ronaldo?
