Watch as Cristiano Ronaldo breaks Jimmy Greaves' record for most goals scored in Europe's top 5 leagues.

Cristiano Ronaldo reached another goalscoring landmark in Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Wednesday.

The Real Madrid ace broke Jimmy Greaves' all-time record of 366 goals in Europe's top five leagues after scoring twice at Balaidos, adding to his 400th goal for Real Madrid which he scored in the 4-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday.

It took Ronaldo just 10 minutes on Wednesday to move past the former Tottenham forward's achievement - a record which has stood for 46 years. Picking up the ball in what seemed like a safe area, he fired an unstoppable left-footed drive into the back of the net.

Ronaldo, who broke the record despite playing 68 fewer games than Greaves, took his tally to 368 with a second-half strike which also ensures Real need just a point from their weekend game at Malaga to win the La Liga title for the first time in five years.
