Cristiano Ronaldo has added another remarkable achievement to his illustrious career by scoring his 900th goal for club and country.
The Portugal captain reached this historic milestone during his nation’s 2-0 victory over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday.
The 39-year-old etched his name further into the history books with a stunning volley in the 34th minute, netting Portugal’s second goal at the Estadio do Benfica. Ronaldo’s strike came from a well-delivered cross by Nuno Mendes, cementing his position as the all-time leading goalscorer, now with 131 goals for his country.
This landmark goal extends Ronaldo’s lead over long-time rival Lionel Messi, who stands second on the all-time scoring chart with 838 goals in 1069 appearances. Ronaldo, meanwhile, has now reached 900 goals, an unmatched feat in football history.
Despite his lack of goals at Euro 2024, which sparked speculation about his international future, Ronaldo’s latest performance silences critics and proves that he still has plenty to offer.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar remains in prime form and insists he’s not finished yet, eyeing even more records as his career progresses.
Galatasaray have received two €120 million bids for striker, Victor Osimhen.
As the summer window opens, clubs are scrambling for Osimhen’s signature.
The Turkish champions are already believed to have received several big-money approaches from Europe.
A Saudi Arabian club has now entered the race to sign the Super Eagles talisman with a similar offer.
According to Turkish transfer insider, Serhan Türk, Galatasaray now have two different €120m offers on the table to consider; one from a European club and another from Saudi Arabia.
However, he did not disclose the name of the Saudi Pro League club.
Atlético Madrid have already seen a huge offer for Osimhen rejected.
Frank Lampard has signed a new deal with Coventry that is set to keep him with the Premier League side until 2029, it was announced Tuesday.
Lampard was in charge as the Sky Blues to English football’s top-flight for the first time in 25 years by winning last season’s second-tier Championship.
The 48-year-old former England midfielder took over at the Midlands club in November 2024 and helped them to a play-off finish in his first season in charge before losing out to Sunderland in the semi-finals.
“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract, it’s a real honour to represent this club,” said Lampard, already looking forward to the challenge of Premier League football.
Lampard, previously in charge of Chelsea, Everton and Derby, added: “After the incredible work of everybody to get promoted and win the Championship, it was important to enjoy the moment, and we certainly did as a city.
“Our job then as staff, and for the players of course, is to firstly recharge but also focus on what we want to do and what we need to for next season. There’s a lot of work to do on and off the pitch as a football club, so those things have been ongoing.
“I’m looking forward to getting back with the players, to see them all and get ready for the new season.”
Coventry have a tough start to their Premier League return, with Lampard’s team away to champions Arsenal on August 21.
Cote d’Ivoire legend, Didier Drogba, has slammed the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, after his country was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup.
The Elephants were beaten 2-1 by Norway in their Round of 32 clash on Tuesday night.
Antonio Nusa opened the scoring in the first half, before Amad Diallo levelled for the Ivorians.
But Erling Haaland tapped home the winner late in the game, to send Norway through.
After the game, Drogba took to his X page, to question why Nicolas Pepe didn’t get a penalty for a foul in the area.
“Disgraceful that penalty not given for Nicolas Pépé… what is VAR even for?” Drogba wrote.
Norway will now play Brazil in the last 16 of the tournament.
