Ronaldo faces his biggest 'enemy'.

With 933 goals scored, the 40-year-old superstar is nearing an incredible record in football history.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very close to achieving an unprecedented record: 1,000 official goals in his illustrious career. At 40 years old, although scoring opportunities may not be as abundant as before, his burning desire and exceptional goal-scoring ability still keep fans worldwide following his every move.

The issue of age

On April 27th, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will face a tough AFC Champions League quarter-final match against Yokohama F Marinos. This is an opportunity for the Portuguese superstar to continue his journey towards achieving the historic milestone of 1,000 goals.

With 933 goals already scored, Ronaldo is on the verge of becoming the first player in football history to reach four figures. Although in recent statements he has been cautious and wants to "enjoy the present moment," few doubt that the goal of 1,000 goals remains a burning desire in the heart of the legendary Portuguese striker. He once shared with former teammate Rio Ferdinand that this is one of the biggest challenges he aspires to conquer.

Age is clearly a significant barrier. At an age when most players retire, Ronaldo still maintains incredible fitness. This season, he continues to show top form, leading the Saudi Pro League top scorer list with 23 goals, following his 35 goals from the previous season.

Even so, Ronaldo remains an irreplaceable pillar of the Portuguese national team, where he set a record with 136 international goals.

Ronaldo's biggest problem is his age.

However, "time waits for no one." Besides concerns about his fitness, Ronaldo's future with the Portuguese national team is also a big question mark. While some still believe he is fit enough to participate in the 2026 World Cup and continue scoring goals, many experts and fans believe the former Real Madrid star's peak years are drawing to a close.

Ronaldo's problem at age 40

In Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo's influence is undeniable. He is an icon of Al-Nassr and the Saudi Pro League. The presence of this superstar elevates the league, attracting the attention of fans worldwide.

However, the team's playing style with Ronaldo sometimes faced criticism. Former Al-Hilal official, Ibrahim al-Anqari, commented that any coach would struggle if they couldn't create favorable scoring opportunities for Ronaldo.

But despite all the doubts and challenges, Ronaldo's goal-scoring fire still burns brightly. He is pouring all his heart and soul into realizing his goal of 1,000 goals. Although his contract with Al-Nassr expires this summer, many believe that an extension for another season, lasting until the 2026 World Cup, is entirely possible.

With 67 goals remaining, the road to that historic milestone is still arduous. Ronaldo will need to maintain his form, make the most of every opportunity, and perhaps even a little luck. But with his unwavering determination and relentless desire to conquer, fans have every right to believe that Ronaldo will continue to write new chapters in the history of world football.

Because, throughout his extraordinary career, Ronaldo has never backed down from any challenge, and 1,000 goals is certainly another peak that this player is determined to conquer.
