On Thursday September 5th, 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 900th goal in his storied career, marking a momentous occasion.

Portugal went ahead 2-0 against Croatia in their Nations League match thanks to a goal from the 39-year-old. The forward broke down in tears beside the corner flag, expressing his joy with great emotion. In addition to his club goals for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and his current team Al-Nassr, the goal was his 131st goal for his country.

Because of his remarkable longevity, a person would currently be 21 if they were alive when Ronaldo scored his first goal in a competitive match. On October 7, 2002, at the age of 17 years, 8 months, and 3 days, he scored two goals for Sporting of Portugal in a 3-0 victory over Moreirense.

Ronaldo, who has already expressed his aim to score 1,000 goals, will not be stopping at 900 on the goal front. While he is not planning to retire from international competition anytime soon, his impressive performances for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League could help him get closer to that milestone before the time comes to hang up the most prestigious of boots.
