UNL: Records chase me – Cristiano Ronaldo reacts after scoring 900th goal
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has shared his thoughts on achieving another historic milestone in football. nThe former Manchester United star made headlines after scoring the 900th goal of his career during Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Croatia in Lisbon on Thursday.
The 39-year-old found the back of the net from close range, connecting with a precise cross from Nuno Mendes.
With this feat, the ex-Real Madrid forward became the first player to reach 900 career goals.
Reflecting on the achievement, Ronaldo said (via Fabrizio Romano), “900 goals might seem like just another milestone, but only I know the effort it takes to reach this number. It’s a unique moment in my career. I don’t chase records… they chase me!”
Lionel Messi follows Ronaldo in the all-time scoring list, currently with 838 goals for both club and country.
