Cristiano Ronaldo’s scoring legacy continues to defy the limits of possibility. At just 39, the Portuguese legend added another astonishing milestone of 900 career goals. He achieved this feat on Sept. 5, 2024, in a UEFA National League Match against Croatia, solidifying his position as the first player to ever achieve this goal in official matches. As the legend dropped to his knees to celebrate, the world of football was reminded of his relentless drive to keep setting new records.
“It was a milestone I waited for a long time.” Ronaldo was emotional after the game.
CR7’s Goals Breakdown
Cristiano’s first professional goal came in 2002 for Sporting CP. Now, 22 years later, he stands as the first player in history to score 900 goals across club and international matches. From Manchester United to Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al Nassr, he always broke his own records, cementing his legacy as one of football’s greatest goal-scorers.
With 450 goals for Real Madrid in just 438 matches, CR7 holds the record for the club’s top scorer. Internationally, he has scored 131 goals for Portugal, making him the highest goal-scorer in international football. This dedication to his national team is unmatched, with records falling almost every time he steps onto the pitch.
The road to 900 has been filled with breathtaking moments. His first milestone, the 100th goal came in 2008 wearing the Red for Manchester, while Mr. Champions League netted his 500th in 2015 wearing the White for Madrid. Perhaps his most memorable season was 2011-12, where he scored 69 goals in 69 matches for Real Madrid and Portugal. The man simply thrives on the big stage, constantly delivering outstanding performances when it matters the most. Cristiano is the all-time leading scorer in both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Euro Cup.
