Setting a new record, Ronaldo sends a powerful message

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 950th career goal, affirming his continued “thirst” for trophies and setting his sights on achieving 1,000 goals before hanging up his boots.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to amaze the football world by netting his 950th career goal, helping Al-Nassr secure a 2-0 victory over Al-Hazm in the 6th round of the Saudi Pro League. Despite being 40 years old, the Portuguese superstar maintains top form, having scored 6 goals in 6 matches, leading coach Jorge Jesus’s team to a perfect start and topping the table with 18 points.

After the match, Ronaldo expressed his joy on social media with a strong message: “Happy to help the team win and reach 950 goals! I’m still eager for much more!” This statement serves as a message to those who doubted that his time was over.

Not only a symbol of endurance, Ronaldo also demonstrates an unquenchable ambition. At the Portugal Football Globe Awards on October 7th, when receiving the Prestige Award, he revealed that his journey is far from over: “My family tells me to stop, saying I’ve achieved everything. But I still want to continue. I feel I can still contribute to my club and national team.”

Ronaldo also admitted that age has made him more calm in his outlook, no longer “wanting to conquer the world” like in his youth, but he still keeps his fighting spirit and joy in every training session and match. He shared: “I don’t think far ahead anymore, I enjoy each day, every moment on the pitch. That gives me extra energy and motivation.”

Coming up, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will face a busy schedule, including a big clash against Karim Benzema’s Al-Ittihad in the King Cup of Champions Round of 16, followed by a match against Goa (India) in the AFC Cup. Afterwards, he will return to play for Portugal’s national team, targeting qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

With his current form and unyielding spirit, the seemingly unreachable milestone of 1,000 goals is increasingly within reach for the “ageless” Cristiano Ronaldo.
