Cristiano Ronaldo: 400 goals after 30 years!

400 goals over the career is a great success for any forward. This century, only a dozen of players have reached this mark.
But what about 400 goals after turning 30? This is just the achievement that Cristiano Ronaldo have done. His goal in the Saudi League match for Al Nassr vs Al Khaleej (2-0) on 4 November was 400th over this part of his career.
It should be noted that this is not all-time world record. So far, Cristiano Ronaldo concedes to Romário (441) and Aleksandar Đurić (430). But given the pace at which he is hammering goals at the age of 38, he will almost certainly break also this record.
On this occasion, for the first time we publish a historical ranking for goal-scorers of “mature” age. All top-level goals scored after the 30th anniversary are taken into account.
Currently, 8 players have scored 250 or more such goals.
