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.
