“Hey, if you score 6 more goals, it’s your 900th goal in total”.
“Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 900th career goal. However, there may be differences depending on the notation,” Germany’s “Transfer Marked” said on the 7th (Korea time), adding, “Based on Transfer Marked’s standards, the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup is not an official competition, but has lost six goals, so it is still 894 goals.”
Portugal’s men’s national soccer team ‘captain’ Ronaldo scored the winning goal in the first Group A match against Croatia in the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 6th to present the team with a 2-1 victory.
Portugal is aiming for the top spot in six years after the 2018-2019 season. Ronaldo’s goal came in the 34th minute of the first half when his team was leading 1-0. He connected a cross from Nunu Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain) with a right footed shot to break the net. Portugal conceded one goal in the 41st minute, but secured the victory by keeping Ronaldo’s goal.
The goal marked Ronaldo’s 131st goal in his 213rd career match for the Portuguese national team. He scored 450 goals for Real Madrid, 145 for Manchester United, 101 for Juventus, and five for Sporting CP. He first scored 68 goals for Al Nasr.
Ronaldo’s goal on the day is quite meaningful. He has scored 900 goals in his career.
In fact, Ronaldo celebrated his milestone by literally flopping over and shedding tears instead of performing a heavy rain ceremony after scoring the goal. “It was (the 900th) goal that I’m very excited about. I’m the only one who knows how hard I try to score a goal every day,” he said after the match. “I don’t break records. The records are chasing me.”
“We need a lot of dedication to reach this level. I would not have imagined this without my teammates,” Ronaldo said. “With 900 goals, Ronaldo is the highest scorer in an official match. FIFA has counted 1,281 goals including the unofficial goal that Pele (Brazil) made in the Santos team, but his official goal record is 757. 안전놀이터
However, the transfer mark is different. “Based on our own bases, Ronaldo has scored 62 goals as a member of Al Nasr. Basically, goals scored in the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup (six goals) should not be considered official matches,” the media outlet said.
To Ronaldo, who scored a goal and cried a lot, this is like a bolt out of the blue. It could be a celebration of his 894th goal by crying rather than the usual “whoa” ceremony.
