Ronaldo targets winning Nations League, reaching 1000 goals

Portugal and Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo has identified two key goals for his remaining career: securing a victory for Portugal in the UEFA Nations League and reaching a milestone of 1,000 career goals. The nation's captain expressed these ambitions in a recent statement, noting that his primary objectives are now focused on these two areas.

In a post shared by Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Ronaldo stated, "The missions now are two: winning the Nations League and reaching 1,000 career goals." Ronaldo's remarkable career with the Portuguese national team has already yielded numerous international accolades and established him as one of the sport's leading goal scorers.

The pursuit of his 1,000 goal target would add another significant milestone to his already impressive list of achievements. At the international level, Ronaldo continues to emphasize Portugal's pursuit of additional Nations League success. With these two objectives now clearly defined, his next challenge will involve continuing his goal-scoring while contributing to Portugal's efforts to claim another major international trophy.

Portugal's head coach, Jorge Jesus, confirmed that Ronaldo remains an integral part of his plans for the national team. Jesus described Ronaldo as a symbol of the country's football, stating, "Cristiano Ronaldo will start for Portugal tomorrow against Wales. He's our symbol."
