Cristiano Ronaldo may have scored his 930th and 931st official goals in Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al Hilal, but the legend himself is not fixated on hitting 1000 goals.
⚽ Ronaldo’s Take on the 1000-Goal Milestone
Despite being only 69 goals away from becoming the first player in history to score 1000 official goals, Ronaldo told the media:
“Let’s enjoy the moment, the present. I’m not chasing 1,000 goals. If it happens, perfect; if it’s not, then no. The moment is the most special thing, not what’s going to come.”
The 40-year-old Portuguese icon emphasized the importance of enjoying the present and celebrating victories, like his performance against Al Hilal in the Riyadh derby.
🏆 Ronaldo Leads Al Nassr to Derby Victory
Ronaldo’s brace in the derby helped seal the win for Al Nassr, extending their lead in the Saudi Pro League. After Ali Al Hassan opened the scoring, Ronaldo doubled the lead in the second half with a goal in the 47th minute, following a lovely combination with Sadio Mané. Despite a late goal from Ali Albulahyi for Al Hilal, Ronaldo sealed the victory with a penalty.
🔥 Aiming for Success, Not Records
Ronaldo’s focus is firmly on team success, rather than individual accolades. He explained:
“The most important thing is to win the derby… I enjoyed the moment, not because I scored, but because we won a very difficult game away from home.”
With nine league games left and one more Champions League match, Ronaldo believes Al Nassr can still achieve great things this season, and he is ready to keep pushing forward with his teammates.
🏅 The Legacy Continues
Ronaldo’s goal tally may be unprecedented, but as always, his mindset remains rooted in team triumph over personal milestones. A true legend.
