Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid: 450 goals in 438 games.

450 goals in 438 appearances is the only stint in either career where a player scored more often than he played. At 1.03 goals per game across nine seasons it is comfortably the best rate on this site, and the 450 goals are 54% of Ronaldo's entire club output — more than his other four clubs combined.

He arrived on 1 July 2009 for a world-record €94m, which is the transfer that created the El Clásico era this site spends most of its time on, and left in 2018 with 16 trophies. Four of them were Champions Leagues, including the only three consecutive European Cups of the modern era: Real Madrid won their tenth on 24 May 2014, with Ronaldo scoring a record 17 goals in the campaign, and completed the three-peat on 3 June 2017 by beating Juventus 4–1 in Cardiff, where he scored twice.

Three of his four best seasons were played here. 2014–15 brought 61 goals in 54 games, his career best for total goals, with a Pichichi and a European Golden Shoe. 2011–12 brought 60 in 55, 46 of them in a La Liga campaign Madrid won with 100 points. 2013–14 brought 51 in 47 and the Champions League single-tournament record.

His calendar-year totals across the Madrid years ran 33, 51, 60, 63, 69, 61, 57, 55, 53 and 49. From 2010 onwards that is 12 straight years at 39 or better, five of them above 55. The poker against Mallorca on 5 May 2010 was the Bernabéu's first; the five against Granada on 5 April 2015, scored in 30 minutes, made him only the third Real Madrid player ever to score five in a top-flight match.
