Cristiano Penaldo?
Two goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo against Fiorentina as a record. Because the Portuguese player is now able to score in nine consecutive matches in Serie A.
However, behind two goals against Fiorentina, there are also scorns that befall Cristiano Ronaldo. Two goals from the spot made Ronaldo often regarded as the penalty king. His name was dropped as Penaldo.
Including two penalty goals against Fiorentina, Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored seven goals from the spot. In total, the former Real Madrid player has scored 19 goals in Serie A.
Seven goals from the penalty spot is not a small amount. However, Ronaldo is not the most penalty scorer in Serie A. The record of the highest scorer in Serie A is still held by Ciro Immobile from Lazio.
Ciro Immobile has scored nine goals from penalties up to the 22nd week of Serie A. The 29-year-old striker is now the king of penalty goals in Serie A.
If calculated since the 2018/2019 season, Ronaldo has become the player with the most non-penalty goals in Serie A. Ronaldo has scored 28 goals, the same as Duvan Zapata, and ahead of Ciro Immobile [27] and Josip Ilicic [25].
Cristiano Ronaldo, despite losing to Ciro Immobile, is still among the players with the highest number of penalty goals in the 2019/2020 season. Because there are no players from the top five European leagues who have as many penalty goals as Ronaldo and Immobile.
From the Premier League for example, Marcus Rashford became the penalty king with five goals. The Manchester United striker scored two more penalty goals than Jamie Vardy and Mohamed Salah.
From the La Liga event, there is Santi Cazorla who became the king of penalty goals. The Villarreal player has already scored six goals from penalties, one more than Valencia's Dani Parejo.
Lionel Messi has only scored two goals from penalties, as well as Karim Benzema.
