Manchester United icon Cristiano Ronaldo was in tears after he scored his 900th career goal during Portugal's UEFA Nations League match against Croatia on Thursday evening
Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly overcome with emotion as he bagged his 900th career goal during Portugal's clash with Croatia on Thursday in a poignant milestone for the veteran striker.
His latest tally marks Ronaldo's 131st international goal, supplementing the impressive 769 club-level goals he's notched up over his illustrious career. The goal was a redeeming moment following a vexing Euro 2024 campaign wherein he witnessed a penalty saved against Slovenia. Leading into the match with Croatia, Ronaldo had disclosed to former United colleague Rio Ferdinand his intentions to pursue the 1,000-goal mark, asserting his immediate goal was "Soon I will do 900 and after that it will be 1,000". Queried on the age he expects to achieve this ambition, Ronaldo confidently responded: "41, I don't know. If I don't have injuries, that is most important, I want that.
