Ronaldo closes In on historic 1,000-goal milestone

Cristiano Ronaldo moved another step closer to the 1,000-goal milestone after finding the net again for Al-Nassr in Friday’s Saudi league clash against Al-Faisaly.

The Portuguese forward scored his 983rd career goal in Al-Nassr’s 3-1 victory, keeping his remarkable pursuit of football’s historic benchmark firmly on track.

Named in the starting lineup, Ronaldo rose above the opposition defence to power home a header from a set-piece delivery, adding another goal to his extraordinary collection.

The strike also marked his fifth league goal of the current campaign, underlining his continued contribution in Saudi Arabia as anticipation builds around the possibility of reaching four figures.

With just 17 goals remaining before the landmark, the 41-year-old remains focused on extending his scoring legacy. Achieving the feat would represent another extraordinary chapter in a career defined by longevity, consistency and prolific goalscoring across multiple leagues.
