Cristiano Ronaldo hit yet another incredible milestone in his legendary career, scoring his 900th career goal during Portugal’s UEFA Nations League match against Croatia on September 6.
The goal played a key role in Portugal’s 2-1 victory, making it a special moment not just for the match, but for Ronaldo’s ongoing legacy.
The goal was especially meaningful, as Ronaldo had been goalless in Portugal’s five previous Euro 2024 matches. But that all changed when he latched onto a pinpoint cross from Nuno Mendes, tapping the ball in from close range to double Portugal’s lead in the 34th minute.

But Ronaldo’s influence extends beyond Portugal and Madrid. Currently playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League, he’s already tallied 68 goals.
His stints at other clubs were just as prolific: 101 goals with Juventus and 145 goals across two spells at Manchester United. And let’s not forget his early days at Sporting CP, where his journey began with 5 goals.
