Buraidah, Saudi Arabia — The goal-scoring legend Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations. The 39-year-old striker netted his 950th career goal as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Hazm 2–0 in the Saudi Pro League at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
The Portuguese superstar found the back of the net in the 88th minute, marking his sixth goal in as many appearances this season and helping Al-Nassr maintain their perfect start to the 2025–26 campaign.
“Happy to help the team win and to hit 950 goals! Always hungry for more,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram after the match — a message that perfectly summed up his relentless drive.
Still Chasing Greatness: The 1,000-Goal Dream
With this milestone, Ronaldo now stands just 50 goals shy of 1,000 — an achievement no player in modern football has reached. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has made it clear that retirement is not yet on his mind.
“I want to keep playing for a few years, not many. People say, ‘It’s time to stop; you’ve done everything.’ But I think I’m still producing good things. I’m helping my club and the national team — why not keep going?” Ronaldo said at the Portugal Football Globe Awards earlier this month.
He added that while his family encourages him to stop at 40, his hunger to contribute on the pitch remains undiminished.
A Leader, a Learner, and a Legend
Reflecting on his long journey, Ronaldo expressed gratitude to teammates past and present, emphasizing how football continues to teach him new lessons:. Bhad Bhabie sex videos
“I’ve learned from everyone — even from the younger generation. It’s a privilege to still be playing, to still be learning.”
He also shared his evolved outlook on life and football:
“If it were 20 years ago, I’d say I wanted to ‘eat the world.’ Now, I take things day by day. I make short-term plans — training by training, game by game — and enjoy every moment.”
Al-Nassr on Top, Ronaldo in Top Form
Ronaldo’s brilliance has propelled Al-Nassr to the top of the Saudi Pro League table with 18 points, three clear of Al-Taawoun and eight ahead of defending champions Al-Ittihad.
Next up, Ronaldo faces a familiar rival — Karim Benzema — as Al-Nassr prepare to meet Al-Ittihad in the King Cup of Champions Round of 16.
Fans worldwide will be watching closely as the Portuguese icon continues his historic pursuit of 1,000 goals, proving once again that greatness knows no finish line.
