Cristiano Ronaldo Continues His 1,000-Goal Chase
Currently in Al-Nassr colours, Cristiano is chasing the historic milestone of 1,000 goals and is currently sitting on 978 goals, having found the net in his side’s 2-1 win over Al-Taawoun last Friday.
‘CR7’ was last seen in action for Portugal during the FIFA World Cup 2026, which saw his team get eliminated in the round of 16 in July.
A late Mikel Merino strike helped Spain clinch a place in the quarterfinals with a 1-0 win in a match that was expected to feature goals, with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal and Cristiano Ronaldo featuring in the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup Career Ends In Heartbreak
Cristiano, playing in his last-ever FIFA World Cup as he had announced ahead of the Spain clash, was once again left to walk off the pitch with sorrow on his face and tears in his eyes. A late winner from Mikel Merino, along with several missed chances from Portugal, including opportunities for Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, saw Portugal suffer another heartbreaking defeat, marking the end of the legendary striker’s career at the grandest stage of the sport.
The football legend ended his World Cup career with 11 goals and became the first player to score in six successive World Cup tournaments.
Since Cristiano’s debut at the grandest stage, Portugal achieved fourth place in the 2006 edition, followed by a round-of-16 exit in the 2010 edition, a group-stage exit in 2014 and another pre-quarterfinal exit in 2018.
The 2022 edition saw Portugal do slightly better, making it to the quarterfinals, but it was his long-time rival Lionel Messi who pretty much ended the ‘GOAT’ debate by capturing the prestigious trophy for Argentina and delivering a sensational performance in the final. (With Inputs From ANI)
