Cristiano Ronaldo has set another milestone for himself after scoring over 50 goals this season making him the first player to score over 50 goals in 6 consecutive years in top flight football.
He scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna on the final day of the Liga season to take his tally to 51 for the season.
The Portuguese star opened the scoring after seven minutes in the final La Liga game of the season, then added his 51st goal in the 25th minute of the 2-0 win, though the league title escaped Real Madrid.
The goals give him 35 in the league this season to go with 16 in the Champions League.
He will have one more game to add to his tally on May 28 as Real take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final in Milan.
The 31-year-old will have to overcome a knock suffered in Saturday's game. He left at half-time and manager Zinedine Zidane said he took "a heavy blow to the foot."
Ronaldo has hit the 50-goal mark every season since 2010-11, his second at Real Madrid after moving from Manchester United.
He had 53 that year, then 60, 55 and 51 before hitting a high of 61 last season.

60 goals- 2012
55 goals- 2013
