Ronaldo, who achieved the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-gets-emotional-after-scoring-900th-career-goal-against-croatia-portugal-star-makes-more-history/blt4449c2433f470997#cs9238ebadeade9def" target="_blank">milestone of scoring 900 career goals</a> last week, has opened up about his successful career and revealed what still motivates him to keep scoring at the age of 39. Ronaldo had a disappointing outing in the Euros where he went five straight games without scoring as Portugal exited the competition from the quarter-final stage. However, he came back strong in the September international break by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-on-way-to-1000-career-goals-bruno-fernandes-hails-portugal-captain-for-winner-against-scotland/blt4447dfd8824d8ddc#cs7e9536bdb7eba7fd" target="_blank">scoring against Croatia and Scotland</a> respectively.

WHAT HAPPENED?

At just 17, the Al-Nassr announced himself to the world with a goal in a league match against Moreirense in 2002. That goal marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey that has taken him to the pinnacle of football across Europe and beyond.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking on his <a href="https://youtu.be/UyV8pwPpLJQ" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a> during a chat with former colleague Rio Ferdinand, the 39-year-old said, "Last night I was having dinner with my family and my mum and we spoke about some situations that happened in the Euros. It's the enthusiasm that I still have for the game. I'm [an] addict for football, I'm addicted to scoring goals, and to play at a good level even at my age because I love it."

WHAT RONALDO SAID

The star attacker will be back in action in club football on Friday as Al-Nassr take on Al-Ahli in a Saudi Pro League clash.
