Cristiano Ronaldo, footballer for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, said on Sunday at the 2025 Globe Soccer Awards that he wants to reach the 1,000-goal mark in his career and is confident he can achieve it if he avoids injuries. The Portuguese player has scored 956 goals in his career, having played for clubs such as Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al Nassr. After receiving the award for Best Player in the Middle East, ahead of Salem Al-Dawsari (Al Hilal), Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad), and Riyad Mahrez (Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia), Cristiano stated that he still has 'the passion' and is 'motivated' to continue. 'It's a great pleasure to see so many sports personalities at this gala. I am sure I will reach the figure that you all know and I am sure I will get there. It's hard to keep playing, but I still have the passion and I am motivated to keep going. Enjoy the night and a happy new year,' he noted.
