Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age, time, and footballing limits as he edges closer to the most extraordinary milestone in the history of the sport — 1,000 career goals. But How many goals does Ronaldo need to reach 1,000 goals?
As of late 2025, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored around 956 official career goals (Club+lnternational), making him one of the top goalscorers in the history of football as he continues his pursuit of the unprecedented 1,000-goal milestone. Just 44 Goals away Form 1k Milestone.

Ronaldo crossed the 900-goal mark in official senior matches in 2024, a feat no other footballer has ever achieved. From his early days at Sporting CP to global stardom with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al Nassr, the 39-year-old has turned goal-scoring into an art form sustained across two decades.
His most prolific spell came at Real Madrid, where he scored 450 goals in just 438 appearances, redefining excellence in club football. Ronaldo has also delivered consistently on the international stage, becoming the all-time leading goalscorer in men’s international football with Portugal.

Despite nearing 40, Ronaldo’s hunger remains undiminished. Playing in the Saudi Pro League, he continues to score at a remarkable rate, silencing doubts about longevity and proving that elite fitness, discipline, and mentality can extend careers beyond conventional limits.
Football analysts believe that if Ronaldo maintains his current scoring rhythm and avoids major injuries, the 1,000-goal milestone is no longer a question of “if” but “when.” The achievement would place him in a realm untouched by any footballer before him.

As fans across the world watch every goal with growing anticipation, Cristiano Ronaldo’s journey to 1,000 goals stands not just as a numbers game, but as a symbol of relentless ambition, consistency, and an unmatched legacy in world football.
