Ronaldo has reached 900 career goals, and it was really interesting that he achieved this quota with a goal against Croatia. Although the way the Portugal captain is still playing in his 39-year career in the UEFA Nations League looks very interesting, a legend like him is still very much interested in playing.
It was a great day for the Portuguese captain scoring his 900th career goal. His closest rival is Lionel Messi, who has netted 838 goals in 1,069 games. While Ronaldo achieved 900 goals in 1,236 games.
But there has been a disagreement on the number of goals Pele scored. His time was when video cameras, the internet and television were not common so it was very difficult to record all games. Meanwhile, all of Ronaldo's goals have been recorded since 2001. But Pele had always said that he played 1,366 matches and scored 1,283 goals.
Since Cristiano Ronaldo has said he has given up on the World Cup title race, if he can captain well now to win the Euros, then surely he can win the trophy again. However, we think that Cristiano Ronaldo will probably retire before the next World Cup, even though he announced it a long time ago. But it will have to wait until then, although Ronaldo still has enough power in his game to play in the World Cup.
Ronaldo didn't really say he is retiring from international football. Which means if he sees the opportunity he would still come to the world. He recently said he has no intention to retire. And he has been very lucky to stay away from injuries. He wants to take this goal to 1000, so probably he might still come to next year's World Cup co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
