It’s been another night to remember for Cristiano Ronaldo, as he netted the 900th goal of his truly incredible career in Portugal’s Nations League clash with Croatia.
Yes, you read that right, 900th!
Inside a packed Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Ronaldo gave the fans the moment they were waiting for in the 34th minute, firing home from inside the box after a Nuno Mendes corner found him.
It sparked serious celebrations from the man himself, who was overcome with emotion, perhaps unsurprisingly for anyone who has watched him in his 20+ year reign on top of the game.
His 900th goal came near-22 years after his very first for Sporting, and over 20 years after his first for his country.
It’s also now 131 goals for Portugal, extending his surely-unbreakable international record.
Remarkably, almost half of the Real Madrid and Manchester United legend’s career goals have come after the age of 30, which makes for some startling statistics.
In a recent interview with former teammate Rio Ferdinand, CR7 said he wanted to hit a thousand goals before all was said and done.
Would anyone bet against him?
