Madrid: Another piece of Real Madrid history awaits Cristiano Ronaldo as he can become the club's all-time leading scorer when they host Granada at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Ronaldo is officially just two goals shy of Raul Gonzalez Blanco's 323-goal record despite having played over 400 games fewer than the Spanish legend. <img title="Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo heads the ball during a practice session yesterday" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/sep/19Cristiano-Ronaldo-1.jpg" alt="Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo heads the ball during a practice session yesterday" /> Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo heads the ball during a practice session yesterday&nbsp;
However, the club claim he is just one goal behind Raul as they credited Ronaldo with a goal back in 2010 that was awarded to Pepe in the referee's report.
The World Player of the Year has struck eight times in his last two games to categorically silence the critics for his slow start to the campaign as he failed to score in either of Madrid's opening two La Liga fixtures or in two games for Portugal.
"I am happy, it is a proud moment for me to be in this position," Ronaldo said after netting his 33rd hat-trick for the club against Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek.
"I have to thank the team, they helped me a huge amount. Before I was bad and now I am good because I have scored eight goals," he added in a thinly veiled dig at his critics.
