Cristiano Ronaldo takes subtle dig at late Pele after claiming that he wants to score 1000 goals on ‘video’

My challenge is to reach 1000 goals. With one difference, all the goals I score will be on video so that I can prove them.

The Portuguese forward is in red-hot form and is one goal away from hitting the unbelievable record of 900 goals. Al-Nassr take on Al-Ahli on the 13th of September after the international break.

Cristiano Ronaldo set to be honored by UEFA for becoming all-time top scorer

With the Champions League set to inaugurate its first edition with the new format, UEFA announced that it plans to honor Cristiano Ronaldo for his incredible journey in the competition. From winning the competition an unbelievable five times to scoring the most goals in the same, Ronaldo is by far the ‘most’ successful player to have been part of the Champions League.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin praised the forward and named him as one of the brightest stars in the constellation that is UEFA. Ronaldo has scored a record 140 goals from 183 appearances for Porto, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Recently, former United teammate Rio Ferdinand revealed that the No.7 is still driven and motivated to do his best at the age of 39.

Ferdinand recalled on Ronaldo’s YouTube channel how the latter used to text him and say that he’d have done better if he was placed in the same situation. While age may have begun to catch up with the forward, it is clear that Ronaldo has no plans to hang up his boots soon. Rest assured, fans can bank on the player to prove people wrong for years to come.
