Cristiano Ronaldo’s race to 1,000 goals: When will Al Nassr star hit historic milestone?
Cristiano Ronaldo has pretty much done it all – but 2026/27 could be the season in which he chalks up what would arguably be his greatest achievement. The Al Nassr star has had the target of 1,000 career goals in his sights for some time, and the three he scored at the World Cup in the summer mean he starts the new campaign tantalisingly perched on 976. That 24-goal aim seems eminently reachable…
Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved almost everything throughout his career, but 2026/27 might be the season when he accomplishes his greatest feat. The Al Nassr star has set a target of 1,000 career goals, which he started aiming for after scoring three in the World Cup this summer, putting him at 976. Given that he has surpassed this mark in 22 out of the past 23 seasons, it seems highly probable that he will reach this milestone.
The only season Ronaldo missed his target was the 2022/23 season when he barely played for Manchester United before transferring to Al Nassr, where he scored 23 goals. Ronaldo would be the first player to achieve this feat, counting only official competitive matches, a first among the likes of Pele, Romario, Ferenc Puskas, and Gerd Muller.
When Ronaldo finally hits 1,000 goals, he will undoubtedly receive global acclaim and media attention. To determine when this will happen, we analyze the upcoming matches and Ronaldo's current scoring rate.
