Ronaldo Accomplishes Historic 900 Career Goals In Portugal’s Victory in the Nations League

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his nine hundred and ninetieth goal in his career against Croatia in the Portugal Nations League.

On Thursday, in Portugal’s Nations League encounter against Croatia, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 900th goal, marking yet another incredible career milestone. When the 39-year-old attacker scored his 131st goal for his nation, the score was 2-0. He celebrated the event passionately, breaking down in tears by the corner flag.

Throughout his storied career, Ronaldo has played for several elite teams, including Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon, and Al-Nassr at the moment. On October 7, 2002, at the age of 17, he scored his first goals for Sporting Lisbon in a 3-0 victory over Moreirense, marking the start of his adventure. Since then, he’s risen to the top of men’s football scoring, having scored more than 800 goals in his two seasons with Manchester United.

Ronaldo solidified his status as one of the best players in history with Real Madrid by amassing 450 goals in just 438 games across nine seasons. He scored 101 goals during his spells at Juventus and 27 goals upon his return to Manchester United. He then joined Al-Nassr, where he has already scored 68 goals.

Ronaldo tops the list for official games even if there isn’t an official worldwide record for men’s football goal scorers. Rival claims of over a thousand goals scored by Pele and Romario of Brazil include goals scored in friendly. Romario scored 785 goals, whereas Pele scored 778, according to the RSSSF. Longtime rival of Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, has scored 867 goals to date.

Ronaldo, who is 39 years old, is still committed to scoring 1,000 goals, a target he thinks he can accomplish in the coming years provided he avoids injury. He recently stated, “I want to reach 1,000 goals,” in an interview with Rio Ferdinand. “This is the most important thing to me, and I want it if I don’t have any injuries.”

Ronaldo continues to set records because of his amazing work ethic and passion for the game, inspiring a new generation of football fans everywhere.
