Cristiano Ronaldo sets sight on new goals milestone

Legendary Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo is just one goal shy from completing 900 career goal milestone for club and country.

However, he is not stopping here, as the Al Nassr striker wants to reach 1000 goals mark before hanging up his boots.

The 39-year-old shooter made this revelation during his podcast with former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.

“I want to reach 1,000 goals,” said the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. “If I don’t have any injuries, this for me is the most important [thing], I want that. For me, the best mark that I can have in football is to reach, first, 900 goals. After, my challenge is to be at 1,000 goals.”

Ronaldo was quick to point out what would set his goals apart from those by other all-time scorers, including legends such as Pele and Alfredo Di Stefano.

“All the goals I have scored, they have video,” he said. “They all have video. Listen, I respect all of them [Pele and Di Stefano]. And if you want more goals, I can bring them from training, too. And I will prove to the people after. They prefer this player, or this is the best one. I don’t care about that.”
