FREE-SCORING Victor Osimhen has broken a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
But it has nothing to do with the Portugal legend’s goals.
Ronaldo, 38, has already had one record shattered this month by Lionel Messi.
The Paris Saint-Germain star now has 697 goals across Europe’s top five leagues, breaking the previous number held by Ronnie.
But there’s further bad news for the Al-Nassr star.
That’s because Napoli ace Osimhen, 24, has set a new record for the highest jumping record in Serie A.

But that figure has now been outshone by Man Utd and Chelsea target Osimhen, who jumped 2.58m while scoring against Spezia on Sunday.
The Nigeria international scored his 15th and 16th goals of the season as Napoli moved 13 points clear at the top of the table.

But the ex-Man Utd man still boasts numerous other records which are unlikely to be broken any time soon.
Ronaldo has the most appearances, goals and assists in the Champions League.
And he also boasts the most international goals after overtaking Iran legend Ali Daei in 2021.
