CRISTIANO RONALDO has scored the 900th goal of his career during Portugal’s 2-1 win over Croatia.

The Real Madrid and Manchester United legend, 39, is the first player in history to achieve the feat.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Portugal to bring up 900 goals in his career

He dropped to the floor in an emotional state at achieving the feat

The goal machine was mobbed by Portugal team-mates

And he was emotional after netting the six-yard tap-in from a Nuno Mendes cross as he dropped to his knees and teared up on the pitch in Lisbon.

It comes after he revealed last week he is aiming to reach 1000 goals before retiring.

Speaking on his new YouTube channel: “Soon I will do 900 and, after, I will beat 1,000.

“I want to reach 1,000 goals. If I don’t have injuries, this, for me, is the most important. I want that.

“It’s the best marker I can have in football. There will be one difference: all of my goals have videos, so I can prove that.”

Pele is considered the highest goalscorer of all time by some, with Fifa crediting the late Brazil legend with 1,281 goals.

But the Brazilian Guinness world record holder amassed his haul with the help of around 550 exhibition and amateur matches.

His total in official career matches is 762, leading to a long-standing debate over which records are most credible.

Even for the ex-Man Utd, Real and Juve hero, it was a lot to take in

Ronaldo couldn’t hold back the emotion after his latest landmark

After scoring five goals at Sporting Lisbon to begin his career, Ronaldo went on to score 118 goals in 292 games for Manchester United.

Then, in 438 appearances across his nine years at Real Madrid, he scored an incredible 450 goals.

After spending three seasons with Juventus, he scored an additional 101 goals. He then scored 27 more goals during his second tenure at Old Trafford.

He then moved to Saudi Arabia after signing for Al-Nassr, scoring 68 in 74.

In 212 games for Portugal, he has scored 131 goals at the international level.

He was harshly criticized for his efforts at this summer’s Euros, nevertheless, in spite of his incredible record of goals scored for his nation and his victory at Euro 2016.

Ronaldo failed to score in Portugal’s five matches as they were eliminated by France in the quarter-finals.

In their Nations League clash with Croatia on Thursday night, Ronaldo’s goal was Portugal’s second of the evening after Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot gave them the lead.

Dalot then also scored at the wrong end too, but Portugal held on for a 2-1 victory.
