The date of September 5th 2024 has gone down in the history books for Cristiano Ronaldo. The forward reached the 900-goal mark in his career when he netted for Portugal against Croatia at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon in the Nations League.
Ronaldo needed just 1,238 official games to reach 900 goals - an average of 0.73 per game. The special moment came in the 34th minute of the first half - Ronaldo received a cross from Nuno Mendes and slotted it home with no chance for Livakovic.
In celebration, he got down on one knee and became emotional.
Of Ronaldo's 900 goals, this was his 131st in the Portugal shirt (in 213 games). The 39-year-old is the all-time leading scorer in the history of international football.
His other 769 goals have come for the five clubs Ronaldo has played for during his career: Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Al-Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo's 900 goals:
