How it is calculated

Goals are grouped by competition. The chart displays the six leading categories where possible, combining the remainder into Other.

How to interpret it

Larger slices represent competitions with more goals in the archive.

Limitations

The chart describes the logged dataset, not necessarily every goal in Ronaldo's career.

Goals by club

Total goals logged per club represented in this data.

About this chart

What it shows

Ronaldo's recorded goals grouped by club.

How it is calculated

Goals from each logged match are summed by the team field.

How to interpret it

Compare the recorded totals between clubs represented in the archive.

Limitations

Incomplete club or match coverage can affect comparisons.

Goals by knockout phase

Goals in cup and tournament knockout rounds.

About this chart

What it shows

Goals grouped by recognized knockout stages, such as the round of 16, semi-finals, and final.

How it is calculated

Recorded goals are summed for matches whose stage is recognized as a knockout phase by the archive's stats helper.

How to interpret it

Compare the goal totals across the stages shown.

Limitations

League and group matches are excluded. Unrecognized or inconsistently labeled stages may not be represented.

Most goals against

The 10 opponents against whom the most goals were logged.

About this chart

What it shows

The opponents against whom Ronaldo has the highest recorded goal totals in this dataset.

How it is calculated

Goals are grouped by opponent, sorted from highest to lowest, and limited to the top 10 opponents.

How to interpret it

Longer bars indicate more recorded goals against that opponent.

Limitations

Opponent names and totals depend on the completeness and consistency of match records.

Goals by venue

Goals scored at home, away, and at neutral venues.

About this chart

What it shows

Goals grouped by the recorded venue classification.

How it is calculated

Goals are summed for matches labeled Home, Away, or Neutral.

How to interpret it

Compare the total goals recorded in each venue category.

Limitations

Matches with missing or different venue labels may not be included in these categories.

Goals by month

Career goals grouped by calendar month.

About this chart

What it shows

How the recorded goals are distributed across the months of the calendar year.

How it is calculated

Goals are summed by the month extracted from each match date.

How to interpret it

Higher bars show months with more recorded goals across the archive's timeline.

Limitations

This combines multiple seasons and years; it does not by itself show that a particular month is consistently more productive.

Goals by age

Scoring output by Ronaldo's age at the time of each match.

About this chart

What it shows

Goals grouped by Ronaldo's age when the match took place.

How it is calculated

Age is calculated from the match date and Ronaldo's birth date; goals are summed for each age.

How to interpret it

Compare recorded scoring totals at different ages.

Limitations

Age totals depend on match-log coverage at each stage of his career and do not adjust for appearances or minutes played.

Goals per 90 by season

Scoring efficiency adjusted for recorded minutes played.

About this chart

What it shows

The number of recorded goals per 90 minutes in each season.

How it is calculated

Season goals are divided by season minutes played and multiplied by 90.

How to interpret it

A higher value means a higher scoring rate relative to recorded playing time; it does not necessarily mean more total goals.

Limitations

Seasons with missing minutes or incomplete match coverage may not be directly comparable. Very small minute totals can produce unstable rates.

Goals per appearance by club

Recorded goals relative to the number of logged matches for each club.

About this chart

What it shows

The average number of recorded goals per logged appearance for each club.

How it is calculated

Recorded goals for a club divided by the number of match records associated with that club.

How to interpret it

A higher value means more recorded goals per appearance in this dataset.

Limitations

This is sensitive to incomplete match coverage and does not adjust for substitute appearances or minutes played.

Minutes per goal by season

How many recorded minutes it took to score each goal, on average.

About this chart

What it shows

The average recorded playing time per goal in each season.

How it is calculated

Season minutes played divided by season goals. Seasons without goals are shown as zero by the underlying helper and should not be interpreted as a genuine rate.

How to interpret it

For seasons with goals, a lower value indicates fewer recorded minutes per goal.

Limitations

The metric depends on complete minutes and goal totals. A season with no goals does not have a meaningful minutes-per-goal rate.

Playmaking

1 visualization

Assists by club

Recorded assists grouped by club.

About this chart

What it shows

The assists recorded for each club represented in the match log.

How it is calculated

The assists field is summed across the logged matches for each club.

How to interpret it

Compare recorded assist totals between clubs.

Limitations

Historical assist data may be incomplete or vary by source, so totals should be interpreted in the context of archive coverage.

Contributions

3 visualizations

Goals & assists by season

Season-by-season output across all competitions.

About this chart

What it shows

The goals and assists recorded for each season in the archive.

How it is calculated

Limitations

Season totals are only as complete as the matches and assists documented in the archive.

Goals + assists by club

Attacking contributions logged for each club.

About this chart

What it shows

Recorded goals and assists grouped by club.

How it is calculated

Goals and assists are summed separately for matches associated with each club.

How to interpret it

Compare each club's recorded scoring and assisting contributions.

Limitations

Assists may be less consistently documented across historical seasons and sources than goals.

Goal contributions per match by season

Average recorded goals plus assists per logged match in each season.

About this chart

What it shows

The average recorded goals and assists per logged match for each season.

How it is calculated

Season goals plus season assists, divided by the number of logged matches in that season.

How to interpret it

A higher value indicates more recorded goal contributions per logged match.

Limitations

This metric treats each match record equally, regardless of minutes played. Incomplete match or assist coverage affects comparisons.

Appearances

1 visualization

Appearances by club

Logged competitive appearances for each club.

About this chart

What it shows

The number of match records associated with each club.

How it is calculated

Each record with a team name contributes one appearance to that club.

How to interpret it

Use this to compare the volume of logged matches across clubs.

Limitations

This method counts records as appearances; it relies on the match log containing the intended appearances and excluding duplicates.

Match Performance

3 visualizations

Match rating distribution

How often each performance level appears across logged matches.

About this chart

What it shows

The number of logged matches falling into each rating band.

How it is calculated

Available match ratings are grouped into score ranges. Matches without a recorded rating are excluded.

How to interpret it

Higher bars show rating bands that occur more frequently in the available data.

Limitations

Only recorded ratings are included, and ratings can vary by source and methodology.

Results breakdown

Every logged match, by result.

About this chart

What it shows

The split between wins, draws, and losses in the logged matches.

How it is calculated

Each match is counted once according to its recorded result.

How to interpret it

The size of each slice indicates how frequently that result appears.

Limitations

This reflects the match log's coverage and recorded result classifications.

Win percentage by competition

Win rate in competitions with at least five logged matches.

About this chart

What it shows

The percentage of logged matches won in each displayed competition.

How it is calculated

Wins divided by logged matches, multiplied by 100. Only competitions with at least five logged matches are included; this chart shows the seven competitions with the highest win rates.

How to interpret it

Higher percentages indicate a larger share of logged matches ending in wins.

Limitations

This is a team result statistic for matches involving Ronaldo, not a measure of his individual performance. Competition sample sizes differ.

Data note: Visualizations are generated from The Ronaldo Archive's current match log. Missing matches, playing-time data, assists, ratings, or inconsistent source classifications can affect the results.
