Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed the one goal he wants to achieve before he retiring from football.
Speaking with former footballer Rio Ferdinand in a new video on his YouTube channel, the Portuguese superstar highlighted his desire to reach 1000 goals, a feat only a few players have ever achieved.
Ronaldo netted the 899th goal of his career in Al-Nassr’s win over Al Feiha on Tuesday with a stunning shot, marking his 64th goal from free kicks.
Reflecting on his target, the 39-year-old said: ‘I feel good, I think I’m still good-looking [laughs]. I feel like I can still dribble, shoot, score goals, jump…’
‘The day I feel like I’m not producing anything, not giving anything, I’ll pack my things and walk away [from football]. But right now, I still feel like I’m far from that day.’
‘First, I want to reach 900. Then I want to reach 1000, but with one difference: there will be videos of all the 1000 goals I score so I can prove that I scored,’ added Ronaldo with a cheeky claim about the lack of video proof of Pele’s and Romario’s goals.
The striker added: ‘I scored 60 goals last season. But people say: “Ah, but you didn’t even manage to score five goals in the European Championship”.
‘How old will I be then? Maybe 41, I don’t know,’ claimed the Portuguese amid the discussions on his retirement after he previously revealed his retirement plans.
