Make that 54 goals and counting.

On Wednesday, Carlos Tevez wrote another chapter in the story of his return to his boyhood club, tallying two goals in Boca Juniors' 6-2 thrashing of Deportivo Cali in the Copa Libertadores, one of which was the result of a lofty free-kick in the 72nd minute.

The brace brought Tevez to within 10 goals of cracking the top 20 on Boca's all-time scoring list.

However, Tevez, 32, will have to continue playing for decades if he hopes to catch Martin Palermo, who sits atop that list with a ridiculous 236 goals to his name.
