After reaching 900 career goals, Al Nassr and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is setting his sights on breaking yet another record.
One of football’s all-time greats, Ronaldo continues to push boundaries and achieve new milestones. The Al Nassr forward recently scored his 900th professional goal, and now, fueled by this remarkable achievement, he has set his eyes on an even loftier target. CR7, driven by his relentless pursuit of greatness, is committed to breaking records for as long as he plays.
In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, Ronaldo expressed his elation at reaching the 900-goal mark and boldly promised to reach the incredible milestone of 1,000 goals.
“I want to reach 1,000 goals; this is the most important thing for me. First 900 goals, and now my challenge is to reach 1,000 goals,” the former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker declared.
Approaching 40 years of age, the Portuguese forward remains a dominant force in football. His exceptional fitness and unwavering winning mentality have been crucial to his success, enabling him to continually break records and set new ones.
Ronaldo’s Journey to 900 Goals
Portugal’s campaign in the UEFA Nations League began with a victory over a tough Croatia side, a match marked by Ronaldo’s 900th professional goal, scored across both club and international appearances.
Ronaldo’s career began at Sporting Lisbon, where his prodigious talent caught the attention of Manchester United. At Old Trafford, he quickly became a fan favorite, netting 145 goals in a red jersey.
However, his true legacy was cemented at Real Madrid. Surrounded by world-class talent and elite managers, Ronaldo reached the pinnacle of his career at the Bernabéu, winning multiple Champions League titles and scoring an astounding 450 goals for the club.
After his Madrid tenure, Ronaldo moved to Juventus, where he notched 100 goals before heading to the Arabian League. Now with Al Nassr, he has added 67 goals to his tally. On the international stage, he has scored 131 times for Portugal, underscoring his status as a football icon.
What’s Next for CR7 and Portugal?
Following their narrow 2-1 win over Croatia, in which Ronaldo scored his 900th goal, Portugal temporarily sits atop Group A1 in the UEFA Nations League under Roberto Martinez’s management.
The Portuguese side will face Scotland in their next match on Sunday, September 8, at home. Scotland will be looking to bounce back after a loss to Poland in their opening match.
After the international break, Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Saudi Arabia to rejoin Al Nassr and continue his pursuit of more records.
