Cristiano Ronaldo claims that he "does not chase records, records chase" him, after he won the Golden Boot in Serie A with his 29 league goals for Juventus.

Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that "records chase" him, after he won the Golden Boot in Serie A this season having scored 29 league goals for Juventus.

The 36-year-old's future at the Old Lady is in doubt after he has been linked with a move away from the Allianz Stadium, and he could potentially return to his boyhood club Sporting Lisbon.

Juve's run of nine consecutive league titles came to an end this season as Inter Milan finished 12 points clear at the summit of Serie A, an achievement which Ronaldo congratulated Inter on in his Instagram post.

Ronaldo wrote a lengthy message on Instagram on Monday bringing attention to his personal achievements, amid a disappointing league campaign for his club: "This year we couldn't win Serie A, congratulations to Inter for the well deserved title. However, I have to value everything that we achieved this season at Juventus, both in collective and individual terms.

"The Italian Super Cup, the Italian Cup and the Serie A Top Scorer trophy fill me with happiness, mainly due to the difficulty they carry with them, in a country where nothing is easy to win.

"With these achievements, I reached a goal that I had set myself since the first day I arrived in Italy: to win the Championship, the Cup and the Super Cup, and also to be Best Player and Top Scorer in this great football country filled with tremendous players, giant clubs and a very own football culture.

"I've already said that I don't chase records, records chase me. For those who don't understand what I mean by this, it's very simple: football is a collective game, but it is through individual overcoming that we help our teams achieve their goals."

Ronaldo continued his post by stating that he is always hungry to achieve more: "It is always looking for more and more on the field, working more and more off the field, that records eventually emerge and collective titles become inevitable, some being the natural consequence of the other," he added.

"So, I'm very proud with this fact that has been widely replicated in recent days: Champion in England, Spain and Italy; Cup winner in England, Spain and Italy; Super Cup winner in England, Spain and Italy; Best Player in England, Spain and Italy; Best Scorer in England, Spain and Italy; Over 100 goals for a club in England, Spain and Italy."

Ronaldo has one year remaining on his contract with Juventus after arriving in Italy in 2018, and he has gone on to score 101 goals in 133 appearances for the club.
