Ronaldo Reveals the Secret Behind His Historic Achievement! ‘Only I and the People Around Me Know’

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about his incredible achievement.

WHAT HAPPENED? Ronaldo’s 900th goal came in dramatic fashion during Portugal’s 2-1 Nations League victory against Croatia in Lisbon. The legendary forward scored in the 34th minute, finishing off Nuno Mendes’ cross, contributing to Portugal’s win and sparking wild celebrations at the packed Estádio da Luz.

Ronaldo first made his mark when, at just 17 years old, he scored his debut goal in a league match against Moreirense in 2002. That goal marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey that has taken him to the very top of European and world football. His 900th goal represents the pinnacle of nearly 22 years of excellence, cementing his place as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.

WHAT DID RONALDO SAY? Speaking after the match, Ronaldo shared insights into the effort and determination required to reach this historic moment, revealing the secret to his success:

“Only I and the people around me know how hard I work every day, both physically and mentally, to stay in shape and reach the target of 900 goals,” he said, adding:

“It was a unique milestone in my career, and I celebrated this goal with great emotion. It means a lot. It was a number I had been aiming for a long time, and I knew it would come naturally as long as I kept playing. I won two trophies with Portugal, something I really wanted. What’s next is incredible. I dreamed of this and I still have more dreams to achieve.”

While reaching 900 goals is an extraordinary achievement in itself, Ronaldo has set his sights on an even bigger target: 1,000 goals. The veteran striker made it clear that he plans to play for as long as possible and aims to reach the 1,000-goal milestone before retiring.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR RONALDO? To reach 1,000 goals, Ronaldo will need to score 100 more goals for both club and country, a challenge he seems more than eager to take on. With his continued presence in the Portuguese national team and his commitment to Al-Nassr, it’s likely he could achieve this milestone within the next two years. This aligns with his ambition to play in the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
