Real Madrid celebrates Ronaldo’s historic feat of scoring 900 goals

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo achieved a remarkable milestone by scoring his 901st career goal Thursday night, demonstrating the same skill and composure that have characterised his legendary career.

This milestone was reached during the UEFA Nations League match between Portugal and Croatia, where Ronaldo scored following a precise pass from Nuno Mendes.

Portugal won the match 2-1, but the real highlight was Ronaldo’s impressive achievement, which further solidified his status as one of football’s greatest players.

In celebration of this milestone, Real Madrid, where Ronaldo made a significant impact during his time there, sent an emotional message praising the Portuguese star.

The club, known for its rich history and numerous legends, expressed its admiration and pride, acknowledging Ronaldo’s exceptional contribution. The message from Real Madrid was heartfelt and full of respect:

“Another historic milestone: 900 goals in the professional career of one of the greatest legends of Real Madrid and world football,” read a statement from the club.

“Congratulations, dear and admired Cristiano! Real Madrid and the Madrid fans are always proud of you.”

Ronaldo’s name has become synonymous with more than just goals; it represents dedication, hard work, and an unrelenting drive to succeed.

During his tenure at Real Madrid, Ronaldo scored an impressive 451 goals, winning the hearts of fans and establishing himself as a club legend. Even now, his legacy continues to grow, with each goal adding to his already illustrious career.

The club that witnessed some of his finest performances remains proud of his achievements and continues to celebrate his ongoing success.

Ronaldo’s figure remains timeless, and every goal he scores reflects the extraordinary journey of his career, marked by both sacrifice and extraordinary talent.

His accomplishments on the field are a testament to his enduring greatness and commitment to the sport.

Speaking on his new YouTube channel: "Soon I will do 900 and, after, I will beat 1,000.

"I want to reach 1,000 goals. If I don’t have injuries, this, for me, is the most important. I want that.

"It’s the best marker I can have in football. There will be one difference: all of my goals have videos, so I can prove that."

Pele is considered the highest goalscorer of all time by some, with Fifa crediting the late Brazil legend with 1,281 goals.

But the Brazilian Guinness world record holder amassed his haul with the help of around 550 exhibition and amateur matches.

His total in official career matches is 762, leading to a long-standing debate over which records are most credible.

Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 games for Man Utd after netting five at Sporting Lisbon at the start of his career.

Then during his nine years at Real Madrid, he bagged an astonishing 451 in 438 appearances.

A three-season stint at Juventus added another 101 goals before his second stint at Old Trafford brought a further 27.

He then moved to Saudi Arabia after signing for Al-Nassr, scoring 68 in 74.

Meanwhile, at the international level, he now has 131 goals in 212 games for Portugal.
