However, the new record is causing some controversy. Before his famous celebratory gesture, Cristiano Ronaldo signalled the number 1 with his hand, which is dividing opinions on social media.

Some argue that the player was simply signalling that he only needed one chance to score. However, some believe it was a response to those who were shouting for Messi during the game.

The gesture was repeated while Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated with his teammates.
