Milestone news that induces asthma has arrived in Cristiano Ronaldo’s 22-year career, as his 900th goal was scored in a 2-1 win by Portugal over Croatia in the Nations League. The goal came off a Nuno Mendes cross and on the back of 8,004 days from the first ever at Sporting CP. Just out of this world: the meteoric rise of Ronaldo from a promising youth at Sporting CP into becoming one of the very greatest footballers of all time.
Club Success and International Dominance
Out of Cristiano Ronaldo’s 900 goals, 769 have come at club level, with 450 of those coming in his spell at Real Madrid, 145 at Manchester United, 101 at Juventus, and the rest at AL-Nassr. All these goals have won him several titles with the clubs, including Champions League and domestic league titles. He has scored 131 goals for Portugal to date in international fixtures, further cementing his place as the all-time top scorer in men’s international football, miles ahead of legends like Ali Daei and Lionel Messi.
Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored against 198 different opponents, which shows that in any kind of competition, he can score. Of those teams, Sevilla and Atlético Madrid have been a target for him as he has scored 27 and 23, respectively, against those clubs. Though having faced some teams, like his former club Benfica, without even scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo is still unique in his art of scoring whenever he takes to the pitch.
Incredible Records and Longevity
Since the beginning of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has kept breaking records: 66 hat-tricks, even scoring five goals in two distinct matches for Real Madrid alone in 2015. However, he does not score only on penalties and headers; he scores 64 free-kick goals, and incredibly, 173 goals have come with his weaker left foot. More brilliant, more incredible talent-the record coherent when well into his late 30s is 437 goals after the age of 30, and 178 after 35 years of age.
Being nearly 40 now, with Cristiano Ronaldo retired or probably close to it, the teen could make his debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Should that happen, he also has a good chance to become Portugal’s oldest scorer in the competition and perhaps join his name among other records achieved by legends like Roger Milla.
Conclusion
Cristiano Ronaldo’s 900th goal is a simple proof of unmatched consistency, skill, and determination. From the early days spent at Sporting CP to becoming an icon in football around the world for years to come, Ronaldo’s career is a living legacy that keeps on passing the torch to successive generations. Not slowing down, the quest for excellence will bring more historic moments in the years to come.
