Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear: reaching 1,000 goals isn’t a priority for him. Despite moving closer to the milestone after scoring a brace against rivals Al Hilal, the legendary forward insists he’s not obsessed with setting records.
With his two goals in the 3-1 win over Al Hilal, Ronaldo now stands at 931 official goals, a staggering achievement that solidifies his place as the top scorer in football history. But when asked about the elusive 1,000-goal mark, Ronaldo remained calm and focused on the present.
“I’m not chasing 1,000 goals,” Ronaldo said after the match. “Let’s enjoy the moment. If it happens, great; if not, that’s fine too. What matters most is what’s happening now.”
His brace against Al Hilal was crucial, helping his team Al Nassr close the gap on the league leaders. The win kept them three points behind second-place Al Hilal and seven behind table-toppers Al-Ittihad with nine games remaining.
While the world watches as Ronaldo inches closer to the historic 1,000-goal milestone, the 40-year-old is focused on enjoying each moment, especially victories like the one in this Riyadh derby. For him, it’s not about chasing numbers—it’s about enjoying the game and striving for more team success.
