Cristiano Ronaldo Targets 1,000 Goals with Portugal
Cristiano Ronaldo, at 41 years old, has expressed his ambition to reach a personal milestone of 1,000 career goals while contributing to the Portugal National Team's success in the Nations League. He confirmed that the 2026 World Cup would be his last but decided against retiring after discussions with Portugal's president and coach, Jorge Jesus.
Ronaldo has been included in the 25-man squad for Portugal's Nations League campaign, which begins with a match against Wales, coached by Craig Bellamy, in Lisbon. He aims to score 21 goals to achieve the 1,000-goal mark and also seeks to win a third Nations League title, having previously won the tournament twice.
Ronaldo stated that both personal and team goals are important to him, emphasizing his desire to support the national team both on and off the field.
