Cristiano Ronaldo’s Monumental Goal: Reaching 1000 Goals in Competition

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in football. After an exceptional career, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has set himself a goal that seems crazy to some, but which hardly surprises those who know him: reach 1000 goals in competition. This impressive determination was clearly displayed in Portugal’s final match as they qualified for Euro 2024.

Qualification for Euro 2024: Portugal there

Portugal, led by Roberto Martinez, qualified for Euro 2024 alongside Germany, France and Belgium. During this crucial match against Slovakia, the Seleção aligned an offensive formation with Cristiano Ronaldo at the forefront, supported by Gonçalo Ramos. Portugal clearly dominated the match, creating 15 chances and scoring 12 shots. Cristiano Ronaldo, in particular, shone by scoring two goals during this meeting, bringing his total of national goals to 125.

Towards 1000 goals? : a colossal goal for Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo already holds the world record for the number of goals for the national team with 125 goals in 202 internationals. However, this is not enough for the Portuguese who has set himself a monumental goal. After the match, he shared a discussion he had with Jorge Nuno Pinto, the president of FC Porto, who dared to make a bold bet with CR7: to reach 1000 goals in competition.

Ronaldo took the challenge head on and said: “ It will be quite difficult, but it’s about my mindset and my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them… We’ll see, these are small steps. To get to 1000, you first have to get to 900. I think I’ll get there. » He added that “ 1000 goals is a long way to go “, but his dedication and recent performances suggest that nothing is impossible for the Portuguese star.
