Cristiano Ronaldo has reached an impressive milestone in his esteemed football career.

Despite being 39 years old, the five-time Ballon d'Or holder continues to defy expectations and excel on the field.

Recently, the Portuguese football legend played his 1000th match, showcasing his dedication and longevity on the pitch.

This remarkable achievement has solidified Ronaldo's status as a true icon in the world of football.

Ronaldo's 1000th club career appearance​


Ronaldo's career has spanned over two decades and recently reached a remarkable milestone during Al-Nassr's AFC Champions League round of 16 match against Al-Fayha on February 14.

In this match, he played his thousandth game and scored his 746th goal, leading his team to victory with the only goal of the match.


In the 81st minute, the 39-year-old scored a stunning goal against Al-Fayha. The Portuguese forward moved skillfully past Marcelo Brozovic and, from the edge of the penalty area, scored with a single touch past the opponent's goalkeeper.

Ronaldo's focus now turns to guiding his team past Al-Fayha in the next round, as they compete for continental glory in the AFC Champions League this season.


Cristiano Ronaldo's 1000 Club Career Appearances Journey​


Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible journey to 1000 club appearances is a testament to his unparalleled talent and dedication.

His success in England, Spain, Italy, and now Saudi Arabia showcases his adaptability and skill on the football field.

He amassed over 400 appearances for Real Madrid, played over 100 games for Juventus, contributed to over 300 matches for Manchester United across two spells, played 51 matches for Al-Nassr, and even made 31 appearances for his beloved boyhood club, Sporting Lisbon, according to Transfermarkt.

His journey continues to inspire fans worldwide and cements his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time.

Meanwhile, in October 2023, Jorge Nuno Pinto, the president of FC Porto, made a bet with Ronaldo to score 1,000 goals and the CR7 immediately accepted the challenge.

Ronaldo said: "It will be quite difficult, but it’s about my mindset and my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them... We'll see, these are small steps. To get to 1,000, you first have to get to 900. I think I will get there."

He has been in incredible form for Al-Nassr this season scoring 25 times in 26 appearances and if he keeps finding the net at this pace, the 1000-goal target might be achieved by the Portuguese player.

What's next?​


Cristiano Ronaldo will next be seen in his dazzling form for Al-Nassr when they host Alfateh in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday, February 17. Kick-off for the match is set at 6:00 pm.
