Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name deeper into the annals of sporting greatness by scoring the 900th goal of his illustrious career during Portugal’s Nations League clash against Croatia.
The 39-year-old superstar netted this landmark goal, bringing his total for the national team to 131, as he helped secure a commanding 2-0 lead.
The moment was laden with emotion, as Ronaldo dropped to his knees in tears by the corner flag, a testament to the relentless dedication that has defined his extraordinary journey.
Ronaldo’s scoring prowess is remarkable—not only for its volume but also its longevity.
Beginning his professional career at Sporting Lisbon, he found the back of the net for the first time on October 7, 2002, at the tender age of 17.
Since that day, he has amassed goals at an unprecedented rate across multiple leagues and clubs.
At Manchester United, he thrived, scoring 118 goals in 293 appearances, before signing for Real Madrid in a then-record deal worth £80 million.
Over nine illustrious years in Madrid, Ronaldo was a goal-scoring machine, racking up an incredible 450 goals.
His journey continued as he moved to Juventus, where he added another 101 goals to his tally before returning to United.
