"Ronaldo netted his 956th career goal on Saturday as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Okhdood 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League. He is level with team-mate Joao Felix at the top of the Pro League scoring charts for 2025-26 with 12 goals apiece, though Ronaldo's haul has come from 12.03 expected goals (xG), while his fellow Selecao star has massively overperformed his 5.46 xG."
""My passion is high and I want to continue. It doesn't matter where I play, whether in the Middle East or in Europe. "I always enjoy playing football and I want to keep going. You know what my goal is. "I want to win trophies, and I want to reach that number. That you all know. I will reach the number for sure, if no injuries.""
Cristiano Ronaldo has 956 career goals and aims to reach 1,000 before retiring, leaving him 44 goals short. He scored his 956th as Al-Nassr beat Al-Okhdood 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League and is tied with team-mate Joao Felix on 12 Pro League goals for 2025-26, with Ronaldo's total coming from 12.03 expected goals compared with Felix's 5.46 xG. Ronaldo will turn 41 in February, has two years remaining on his Al-Nassr contract, and seeks to appear at a sixth World Cup in 2026. He has scored at least 40 goals in three consecutive calendar years and says he will continue playing, motivated and fit, until he reaches the target if injuries do not intervene.
