At 40 years old and with 956 career goals, Cristiano Ronaldo continues his quest for the thousandth.
This was made clear on Sunday (28) in a statement given after being named the best player in the Middle East in 2025 at the Globe Soccer Awards.
With 1300 games played, the number 7 of Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team relies on his longevity to reach the magic number.
"It's difficult to keep playing, but I have the passion and I'm motivated to continue. It doesn't matter where I'm playing, in the Middle East or Europe, I always want to win more trophies and I want to reach the milestone that everyone knows (the thousandth goal). I'm confident I'll achieve it if there are no injuries. Enjoy the night and happy new year," he said.
There's still a game this year...
CR7 has scored 40 goals since January.
It's been fourteen "calendar" years scoring at least 40 times.
There were eight celebrations with Portugal and 32 with Al-Nassr.
And he might have another chance to increase his numbers - and shorten the path to the thousandth - before the year's end.
His Al-Nassr will visit Al-Ettifaq for the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday (30).
The team led by Jorge Jesus leads the competition and is the only one with 100%.
They have 30 points against Al-Hilal's 28 - the other undefeated team.
Which will be their rival soon, on January 11.
