Florentino Perez has praised Cristiano Ronaldo, who is close to becoming Real Madrid's all-time goalscorer.

The Portuguese forward only needs three more goals to surpass Raul's total of 323 for the club, as he prepares to face Granada this Saturday.

Despite the 30-year-old's form in front of goal, the club's president says that there is a lot more to come from the Portugal international.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is already a legend of Real Madrid and has earned a place in the history among the largest in this club," Perez said, according to Goal.com.

"He has already been the top scorer of Real Madrid in the league, and certainly in the coming days will be the top scorer of all time.

"He's a unique player who is going to continue to give us much happiness."

Ronaldo has scored eight goals in his last two games, after hitting five past Espanyol last weekend and then netting a hat-trick in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
