(VIDEO) Cristiano Ronaldo Scores: Is He Approaching 1,000 Goals?
At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy time and chase history. The Portuguese superstar scored once again for Al Nassr on Wednesday during a preseason friendly against Toulouse in Grödig, Austria, bringing him closer to the legendary 1000-goal milestone.
How did Cristiano Ronaldo score against Toulouse?
Toulouse opened the scoring in the 25th minute after a defensive error by Al Nassr, capitalized on by Yann Gboho. But just eight minutes later, Cristiano responded: he latched onto a pass from Wesley and finished calmly to make it 1-1 in the 33rd minute.
The goal showcased his elite positioning and cold-blooded finishing—even in a preseason setting, his hunger remains intact.
How many goals does Cristiano Ronaldo have now?
With this goal, Ronaldo inches closer to the historic 1000-goal milestone. While only Pelé and Romário are unofficially believed to have reached that figure, Cristiano now has well over 870 goals, counting both official and unofficial matches.
He remains laser-focused on making history before the end of his illustrious career.
How did João Félix and Jorge Jesus debut?
The match also featured the Al Nassr debut of João Félix, who played 60 minutes after joining from Atlético de Madrid. The Portuguese forward showed flashes of creativity and promise in his first appearance for the Saudi club.
Meanwhile, the game marked the first match on the bench for Jorge Jesus, the veteran Portuguese manager formerly with Flamengo and Al Hilal. His debut ended in victory.
Final score and what’s next for Al Nassr
The comeback was completed in the 77th minute when Mohammed Marran scored the winner after a cross from the right flank. By that time, both Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix had been subbed off, but Al Nassr held on for the 2-1 win despite late pressure from the French side.
As Al Nassr ramps up for the upcoming season, all eyes remain on Cristiano Ronaldo—and whether he can reach the mythical 1000-goal milestone.
