At the back post, Ronaldo was ready to tap in a smart cross from the left. It looked like a typical Ronaldo goal. As he wore his country’s shirt, the 39-year-old broke the record, which was a historic moment.

One of the people waiting in the box used to play for Real Madrid. There was also Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leao. Leao dove far to the left to get the ball.

That’s when the AC Milan star made a precise pass that begged to be poked home, which is what “CR7” did. He then rode off in a happy mood, possibly knowing what he had done.

Today what seemed like a typical Ronaldo goal, the icon lurking in at the back post to tap home a smart cross from the left, turned out to be a momentous moment

Croatia tied the game with a goal, but Portugal won 2-1 thanks to an own goal by Diogo Dalot of Manchester United. Many people will remember this Nations League game for another historic moment that the Portuguese great scored.

Ronaldo scored his first goal for Sporting Lisbon in a league game against Moreirense on October 7, 2002. This was after a one-goal run.

But even a man as sure of himself as he is couldn’t have known that 22 years later he would still be scoring runs and have more than 900 hits.

Between the posts, Ronaldo scored his 100th goal against Tottenham on January 27, 2008. He had worked hard for just over five years to reach that point.

The forward finally scored his 500th goal against Malmo in the group stage of the 2015–16 Champions League. It had been seven years since his last goal.

He is the first person to get 90% of the way to 1000 strikes, and it only took him nine years to finish the last 400 strikes.

Messi is the only other player with more than 800 goals. He has scored 838 goals for both his club and his country.

Because Ronaldo has scored goals in every game he has played in over the course of his long career, he set the record.

That’s a lot of goals for his country. The forward has scored 130. In the group stages of Euro 2004, they lost 2-1 to Greece and he scored their first goal.

In 438 games over nine years with Real Madrid, he got 450 goals, which is more than one goal per game.

Remarkably, the forward has scored 130 goals for his beloved national team alone

Before that, he scored 145 goals in 346 games for Manchester United from 2003 to 2009.

Ronaldo has only been with Juventus for three years, but he has already scored more than 100 goals.

He hasn’t even mostly been an attacker during his career.

Ronaldo's first ever goal came for Sporting Lisbon in a league game against Moreirense on October 7, 2002

Of his crazy number of goals, most of them have come from the left wing, where he has scored 362 times.

And he’s scored 285 goals from centre forward and 83 goals from right wing.

Ronaldo’s favorite league is La Liga. In 292 games, he has scored 311 goals there. His 140 goals in the Champions League, on the other hand, are likely the best and will never be topped.

He scored 145 for Manchester United in 346 games between 2003 and 2009

We don’t know if the legend can hit four figures yet because the football player is busy with things other than football. He put his newest project on the video-sharing site so that he could get in touch with his friends around the world more directly. More than 15 million people have already signed up to follow him.

The channel has 19 movies. “Discover EVERYTHING about us” is the name of the most-used one. Who is going to win? The show will mostly be about his life with his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. and his wife Georgina Rodriguez when he’s not playing sports.

Ronaldo has scored goals of all types including a famous bicycle kick against Juventus in 2018

His legendary career is coming to an end, but many people think he is the best player the game has ever seen. It would be typical of him to play for another five years and score 1,000 goals.
