At 40 years old and with an impressive tally of 956 career goals, Cristiano Ronaldo is determined to reach the milestone of a thousand.
This ambition was highlighted on Sunday (28) during his remarks after being awarded the title of Best Player in the Middle East for 2025 at the Globe Soccer Awards.

Having played 1300 matches, the legendary number 7 of Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team counts on his remarkable longevity to achieve this iconic goal.
“It’s challenging to keep playing, but my passion and motivation drive me to continue. No matter if I’m in the Middle East or Europe, I aim to win more trophies and reach that milestone everyone recognizes (the thousandth goal). I believe I can accomplish it if I stay injury-free. Enjoy your evening and happy new year!,” he stated.

He has maintained this impressive streak for fourteen consecutive years, scoring at least 40 goals annually.
His scoring record includes eight goals for Portugal and 32 for Al-Nassr.
He may have another opportunity to bolster his records and move closer to the thousandth goal before the year concludes.
Al-Nassr is set to face Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday (30).
Coached by Jorge Jesus, the team leads the league with a perfect record, collecting 30 points compared to Al-Hilal’s 28—also unbeaten.
The two teams will clash again soon on January 11.
