Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy time. Just days away from turning 41, the Portuguese star scored again and moved one step closer to the remarkable milestone of 1,000 career goals in Al Nassr’s victory over Damac in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo’s longevity shows no signs of slowing down, and his latest goal further strengthens his pursuit of one of the most ambitious records in football history.
How did Cristiano Ronaldo score?
In the 50th minute of the match between Damac and Al Nassr, corresponding to Matchday 16 of the Saudi Pro League, the former Real Madrid forward made a well-timed run into the box, met the pass in stride, and finished with a right-footed shot past the goalkeeper.
With the 2–1 win, Al Nassr reached 37 points, keeping pressure on league leaders Al Hilal, who sit on 41 points with a game in hand.

After being named Middle East Player of the Year at the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo made it clear that his ambition remains as strong as ever and that the historic target is very much on his mind.
“I want to keep going. You all know what my goal is. I want to win more trophies, I want to reach that number everyone knows about—if injuries allow me to,” said the Portuguese forward.
