Cristiano Ronaldo recently shared his ambitious goal of reaching 1,000 career goals before retiring from professional football. In a candid discussion with former footballer Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo celebrated his 899th goal, scored during Al-Nassr's victory over Al Feiha, and expressed confidence in his abilities at 39. He emphasized that he would retire only when he feels he can no longer contribute to the game.
Ronaldo's aspirations come amid criticism regarding his performance at the 2024 European Championship, where he failed to score. He dismissed the negativity, pointing out his impressive tally of 60 goals from the previous season and reaffirming his status as the highest goal scorer in football history. With determination, he stated, “I want to reach 900 goals first, then 1,000, with video evidence to prove it,” humorously referencing the lack of documentation of goals scored by legends like Pelé and Romário.
Fans have reacted positively, expressing admiration for Ronaldo's work ethic and ambition. Many view him as a role model, inspiring younger generations with his relentless pursuit of excellence. Supporters eagerly anticipate his journey toward 1,000 goals, seeing it as a testament to his enduring talent and dedication to the sport.
