As the night wore on, the Group B AFC Champions League action resumed, with Ainas defeating Egaraafa 3-1 at dawn on Tuesday (26th). In this thrilling match, Portuguese legend C Ronaldo once again showed his extraordinary strength. After scoring twice this season, he set three new records: the first player to reach 450 goals after the age of 30, the first to reach 150 goals in the Champions League, and the first to score an amazing 40 goals in 13 years!
Cron, who is entering his dotage, has not slowed down as the years go by. He seemed to be impatient with the pace of the game in the away half of the Ainas match, but only a minute later, Cron broke the deadlock with a precise header, followed by another goal from Anzulugabir to make it 2-0, and in the 64th minute, Cron showed his killer instinct again with an easy goal. Although Zusnu scored a late goal for the hosts, Ainas sealed the 3-1 win.
Cron's family dream is to reach 1,000 goals in his career, a figure that has climbed to 913 and counting. Of his 913 goals, 450 were scored after his 30th birthday, making him the first person in soccer history to do so; in the top two competitions, the UEFA Europa League and the AFC Champions League, he scored a total of 150 goals, which is also unprecedented; and in 2024, Cron even reached the 40-goal mark. Alongside Lionel Messi, he held the record of over 40 goals in 12 years. Now, in his 13th year, Cron has not only reached a milestone, he has also set an exclusive record.
