Cristiano Ronaldo makes surprise admission about ambitious 1,000 career goals target after latest brace for Al-Nassr against defending champions Al-Hilal

AFC Champions League Elite

Yokohama F.Marinos

Al Nassr FC

<p>The timeless Al-Nassr star was at the centre of the action as his team<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-sadio-mane-al-nassr-over-line-close-in-al-hilal-win-saudi-pro-league-rivals/bltcbffe951b88d814e" target="_blank"> beat rivals Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League </a>on Friday night to move within three points of the second-placed side. Ronaldo netted in the 47th and 88th minutes to seal the deal but made a surprising confession after the match.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking after the important win, Ronaldo said: "Guys, let's enjoy the moment. I'm not chasing 1,000. If it happens, perfect. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. The moment is the most special thing not what is going to come you know. Enjoy the moment and it was a great win not because I scored of course. I'm happy to score two goals against Al-Hilal but the most important thing is to win the derby. We play against a fantastic team away, it's always difficult, we have to appreciate and we have to continue because nine games left with one more in the Champions League. Everything is possible, we have to continue and believe."</p>

WHAT RONALDO SAID

<p>Ronaldo has spoken on the landmark before, adding: "I reached the 900 mark last month (in October 2024) and now they already want 1,000. It is almost starting to become an obligation. That is why I say: live in the moment and see the response that my legs will give me in the years to come." The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has netted 30 times in all competitions for the Saudi side in 2024-25, meaning he would still need to perform at a similar level for another two seasons to hit the landmark.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ronaldo had recently been linked with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/david-beckham-tipped-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-together-inter-miami-cr7-mls-bigger-than-ever-transfer-al-nassr/blt580d6f0eaa68dde7" target="_blank">potential link-up with Lionel Messi </a>at Inter Miami but for now he is focused on delivering silverware to Al-Nassr, who face Al-Riyadh next on April 12.</p>
