Cristiano Ronaldo sets for himself a 1000-goal target before retirement after scoring a match-winning brace for Portugal against Slovakia.
The talismanic forward rose to the occasion to fire Portugal to Euro 2024 after scoring two goals in a 3-2 win against Slovakia. With the twin strike on Friday evening, he boasts of now having a record 125 international goals and a staggering 857 career goals.
However, Ronaldo, who turned 38 last February, has no plans of hanging up his boots, instead, set an ambitious target of scoring 1000 goals.
Jorge Nuno Pinto, the president of FC Porto, made a bet with him to score 1,000 goals and the forward immediately accepted the challenge.
"It will be quite difficult, but it's about my mindset and my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them... We'll see, these are small steps. To get to 1,000, you first have to get to 900. I think I will get there," he said during the conversation.
Ronaldo has reportedly expressed his desire to sign an extension with Al-Nassr that will keep him in Saudi Arabia until 2027. This means that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner sees himself turning up for the Selecao not only in the European Cup next summer but also in the 2026 World Cup that will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

He has 857 goals. Just from January he joined Al Nassr to now he had scored almost 50 goals. It's becoming clear that the older he get, the potent he becomes. At the rate he's on, he will require less than 3 seasons to reach 1,000 goals.i can see him ending his career with at least 1250 goals......he's a goal machine. ....πβ€οΈππͺ
