Goal in Nations League
“Unique milestone” for Cristiano Ronaldo
Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted emotionally to scoring the 900th goal of his career. "It seems like any other milestone, but only I and the people around me know how hard it is to work every day, to be physically and mentally fit and to score 900 goals," said the 39-year-old after Portugal's 2-1 Nations League opener win over Croatia in Lisbon, adding: "It's a unique milestone in my career."
Portugal's captain celebrated the 2-0 victory after 34 minutes, which brought him another impressive mark in world soccer, with appropriate exuberance. "It means a lot to me," emphasized Ronaldo, who has been under contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia since last year: "It was a milestone I've wanted to reach for a long time. I knew I could reach this figure because if I kept playing, it would happen naturally."
"I still have more dreams"
It was Ronaldo's 131st goal in his 213th international match. No footballer in the world has more caps and goals in an international shirt. And this is far from the end for the veteran. "I have dreamed of this, and I have more dreams. Thank you all so much," Ronaldo wrote on Instagram with a video showing some of his goals.
