One goal closer! It is known how many goals Cristiano Ronaldo still needs to reach 1,000

On Wednesday, 21 January, Al-Nassr travelled away to face Damac in the Matchday 17 fixture of the Saudi Pro League. There, Ronaldo took another step toward the 1,000-goal milestone.

Details: Early in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo found his moment and scored against the opposition. The Portuguese star now has 960 goals in his career, leaving him just 40 goals short of the coveted 1,000 mark.

Incidentally, on Madeira, near the CR7 Museum, an unknown individual approached the bronze statue of Ronaldo, doused it with petrol and set it on fire while recording the entire incident on video. As the flames engulfed the statue, the perpetrator took a few steps back and began dancing to strange music.

Reminder: Ahead of this match, Al-Nassr were sitting third in the Saudi Pro League table, trailing the league leaders by seven points.
