Ronaldo's Goal Against Riyadh: How Many More to Reach 1000?

Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al Nassr, is relentlessly chasing the historic milestone of 1000 goals in his career, having found the net against Riyadh during the second round of the Roshn League.

Ronaldo started the match on the bench before being brought on by the coaching staff in the 62nd minute, needing just a few minutes to leave his attacking imprint.

The captain of Al Nassr successfully scored his first goal of the new season, taking advantage of his participation against Riyadh to add another goal to his tally, continuing to close in on the historic milestone.

The goal brought Ronaldo's tally to 977 goals in his career, having entered the 2026 World Cup with 973 goals, before adding three more during the tournament prior to his goal against Riyadh.

The Portuguese star now requires only 23 goals to reach 1000 goals, a feat that would be unprecedented in the history of football if achieved.

Ronaldo's goals are distributed among clubs as follows: 450 for Real Madrid, 145 for Manchester United, 130 for Al Nassr, 101 for Juventus, and 5 for Sporting Lisbon. With the Portugal national team, Ronaldo leads the all-time international scoring chart with 146 goals, as the 41-year-old continues his pursuit of his current biggest goal.
