And Ronaldo was visibly emotional after scoring a close-range tap-in from Nuno Mendes’ cross, dropping to his knees and tearing up on the pitch. This moment comes just a week after he opened up about his ambition to reach 1,000 goals before retiring
Speaking on his new YouTube channel: “Soon I will do 900 and, after, I will beat 1,000. “I want to reach 1,000 goals. If I don’t have injuries, this, for me, is the most important. I want that. “It’s the best marker I can have in football. There will be one difference: all of my goals have videos, so I can prove that.”
