Cristiano Ronaldo, the highest goalscorer in the history of football, has acknowledged that the possibility of reaching a thousand goals in his career is getting further away. Despite his ambition, the Portuguese star has admitted that age and the demands of professional football prevent him from having a long-term vision. Recently, Ronaldo received the Quinas de Platina trophy from the Portuguese Football Federation, demonstrating that he remains one of the best footballers in the world.
"Now I face my life living in the moment. I can no longer think long-term," declared Ronaldo. He acknowledged that his body is no longer the same and that it is necessary to adapt to the new circumstances. Although the possibility of reaching a thousand goals has become more tangible throughout his prolific career, Ronaldo made it clear that he is not obsessed with that milestone. His main goal is to enjoy the present: "A thousand goals is very nice, but if they don't come, I am already the player in history with the most goals."
Ronaldo also expressed his deep love for football and his commitment to the Portuguese National Team. He has participated in six European Championships and has scored 133 goals in 216 matches, a historic record. Despite the uncertainty about his sporting future due to his contract expiring in June 2025, Ronaldo has not given any hints about whether he will continue to play beyond that date. However, his passion for football suggests that he still has much to offer on the field.
