Soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo made history this week, becoming the first player ever to score 900 career goals during Portugal's 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory over Croatia. The 39-year-old star called the milestone "emotional" and thanked his team for their support.
Ronaldo netted his 900th goal with a slick header off a cross from teammate Nuno Mendes, sealing Portugal's win at Lisbon's Stadium of Light. Teammate Bruno Fernandes joked that fans "stopped counting goals" for CR7 long ago, adding: "He’s raising Portugal's name to new heights."
The GOAT's career stats read like a video game cheat code: 131 goals for Portugal, 450 for Real Madrid, and stints at Man United, Juventus, and current club Al Nassar. "It's a unique milestone only I truly understand," Ronaldo said post-game, highlighting the grind behind his success.
With this win, Portugal stays atop their Nations League group. Meanwhile, Ronaldo proves age is just a number – one that keeps getting bigger.
