Cristiano Ronaldo makes 500 goal history as he edges closer to the 1000 milestone

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 500th goal since turning 30 becoming the first-ever player to do so, and bringing his career total to 964 as he aims for both the 1,000-goal mark and World Cup glory.

Cristiano Ronaldo reached a staggering milestone in Al-Nassr’s 4-0 win against Al-Hazm, scoring his 500th goal since turning 30.

Now 41, the Portuguese legend sits at 964 career goals. This achievement highlights his evolution from a “step-over-heavy winger to a cold-blooded, one-touch predator in the box.”

With the 2026 World Cup approaching, the “untouchable” 1,000-goal mark is now within his sights.

The upcoming tournament in North America marks Ronaldo’s record-breaking sixth World Cup appearance.

While he needs 36 more goals to reach four digits, the striker remains focused on the “only trophy missing from his cabinet.”

Whether he hits the milestone in a Portugal shirt or at the club level, he remains a “statistical anomaly that likely won’t be repeated in our lifetime.”
