At 39 and now playing in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo’s passion for scoring and celebrating crucial goals for his country at a packed Estadio da Luz shows he’s far from done.
Even as he nears 40, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to prove why he remains one of football’s greatest, showing no signs of slowing down.
After netting his 901st career goal to defeat Scotland, Ronaldo celebrated with the same fire as if it were his very first.
But he didn’t stop there—he ran along the sideline, shouting and gesturing as if he’d just secured more than just three Nations League points.
Subbed in by Roberto Martinez when Scotland led 1-0, Ronaldo quickly dominated the game. Before scoring the winner, he hit both posts, argued with the referee and teammates, and even dealt with a pitch invader.
His unmatched drive, hunger for goals, and elite finishing ability continue to keep him in the spotlight.
Reaching 901 goals is a remarkable feat, but with Ronaldo’s insatiable thirst for success, it wouldn’t be surprising if he pushes to reach 1,000.
Ultimately, Ronaldo decides when his journey ends—no one else, no matter what others might wish.
