Portugal captain and Al Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo has set two ambitious goals for the next chapter of his career: winning the UEFA Nations League with his country and reaching 1,000 career goals.
In a recent post, the 39‑year‑old forward outlined the dual focus that will drive his performances at both club and international level. Ronaldo said that the Nations League triumph would be a crowning achievement for Portugal, while the 1,000‑goal milestone would cement his place among the greatest scorers in football history.
Ronaldo has already scored more than 700 goals for club and country, and his move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr has added a new chapter to his prolific career. The Portuguese star remains a key figure for the national team, leading them in the ongoing qualification campaign for the 2024 Nations League.
While the exact timeline for the 1,000‑goal target is not specified, Ronaldo’s statement underscores his continued ambition to add to his already impressive record. The striker’s focus on both team success and personal achievement reflects his long‑standing drive for excellence on the pitch.
