Cristiano Ronaldo reached his 950th career goal with a late strike in Al-Nassr’s 2-0 victory over Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday. The 40-year-old Portuguese superstar netted in the 88th minute at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, extending his scoring streak to six goals in six appearances this season. With the win, Al-Nassr remains unbeaten and leads the league with 18 points, three ahead of Al-Taawoun and eight clear of defending champions Al-Ittihad.

Following the milestone, Ronaldo took to Instagram to celebrate: “Happy to help the team win and to hit 950 goals! Always hungry for more!” The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has openly declared his ambition to reach 1,000 career goals, a target he first mentioned earlier this month. Despite family urging him to retire at 40, Ronaldo insists he remains physically and mentally sharp, contributing significantly to both club and country.

In a recent interview after receiving the inaugural Prestige Award at the Portugal Football Globe, Ronaldo reflected on his longevity: “I want to keep playing for a few years, not many. I’m still producing good things, helping my club and the national team.” He emphasized a day-by-day approach, enjoying each training session and match. “Age allows you to think differently,” he said, adding that short-term goals fuel his drive more than long-term plans.
