Cristiano Ronaldo, nearing the end of his illustrious career spanning over two decades, has revealed that the 2026/27 season will be his final campaign. Despite his remarkable legacy, the Portuguese superstar still has a final opportunity to add to his illustrious collection of records, trophies, and milestones. This season, both at club and international level, holds significant importance for Ronaldo.
At Al Nassr, there is still a chance to secure back-to-back Saudi Pro League titles. Having won the league last season, Ronaldo will aim for a domestic treble by winning the King’s Cup, Saudi Super Cup, and AFC Champions League. Redemption in the AFC Champions League is crucial for Ronaldo, who desires an Asian silverware finish to his Saudi career.
Internationally, Ronaldo has a chance to lift the UEFA Nations League trophy once more. Portugal, reigning champions after defeating Spain in the 2025 final, will compete in the UEFA Nations League final in June 2027. Ronaldo has a strong record in the tournament, having won it twice already, and could potentially lead his country to back-to-back titles.
Finally, Ronaldo's personal milestone of reaching 1,000 career goals is within reach. Currently sitting at 976 goals, he needs 24 more during the 2026/27 campaign to achieve this unprecedented landmark.
