Cristiano Ronaldo was honoured in style by Al-Nassr ahead of their clash with Al-Ahli after hitting 900 career goals over the international break.
Ronaldo has dominated headlines once again over the international break by bagging the 900th goal of his extraordinary career during Portugal’s Nations League clash with Croatia.
The 39-year-old is now back with club side Al-Nassr and was presented with a special ‘GOAT’ jersey with the number 900 on the back ahead of Friday’s Saudi Pro League side with Al-Ahli.
An impressive tifo carrying the messages ‘900 goals’ and ‘Only heroes achieve glory’ was also on display in the stands.
Although Ronaldo’s most recent achievement is yet another historical moment for the Portuguese superstar, he has previously stated that “he has more dreams” before he hangs up his boots. Ruben Neves, a midfielder, and Roberto Martinez, the manager of the national team, have both declined to say that Ronaldo won’t score a millennium before calling his quits.
Most of Ronaldo’s 900 goals came during his stay at Real Madrid where he netted 450 times. Ronaldo also scored 145 goals for Manchester United, 131 for Portugal, 101 for Juventus, 68 for Al-Nassr and five for Sporting.
Ronaldo may not be able to stop scoring but he is yet to pick up a trophy with Al-Nassr other than the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup. He’ll hope to put an end to that this season after losing out on the Saudi Pro League title to Al-Hilal last term.
