NEW DELHI: Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has said he will continue playing until he scores his 1, 000th career goal, after winning the Best Middle East Player Award at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.
Ronaldo, who has scored 956 goals for club and country, is Portugal’s all-time leading scorer with 143 goals and Real Madrid’s top scorer with 450. He stands alone as the only player to net over 100 goals for four different clubs: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr.
The star forward continues to rewrite scoring milestones at Al Nassr, scoring twice in their 3-0 win over Al Akhdoud. He has already found the back of the net 12 times in the Saudi Pro League this season, with Portuguese compatriot Felix one ahead.
