Months ago, Cristiano Ronaldo set a goal of reaching 900 goals in his career after being asked if he saw the possibility of reaching 1,000 goals.
“It will be difficult (to reach 1,000 goals), but it’s a matter of seeing how my spirit and motivation are. Well, physically, my feet treat me as well as I treat them. We will see, they are small stages. First we have to reach 900 goals and I think I will achieve it,” Ronaldo explained a few months before joining the Portuguese team.
Now, Ronaldo has 13 more goals to reach this goal of 900 goals and in the upcoming schedule, he has 5 matches in the Saudi Pro League, the King’s Cup final with Al Hilal and above all Euro 2024 with Portugal, a tournament where this striker can set many historic records.

In the 3-1 victory over Al Khaleej in the semi-finals of the Saudi King Cup, Ronaldo scored his 886th and 887th goals. In total, CR7 has 44 goals in 45 matches this season, including 14 goals in 15 matches from the beginning of the year until now.
On May 31, Ronaldo and Al Nassr will compete for the cup against Al Hilal, an opponent he lost to in all three previous encounters and was unable to score. Al Hilal is also the team that defeated Al Nassr in the King’s Cup final 4 years ago.
