Despite his team’s setbacks, CR7’s extraordinary goal-scoring prowess, even in the later stages of his career, has rightfully earned him the nickname “U40 Machine Gun,” leaving fans and analysts in awe of his unmatched achievements.
Ronaldo began his professional journey at Sporting Lisbon before signing with Manchester United, where he won his first Ballon d’Or. In 2009, he became the most valuable player in football history, at the time, transferring to Real Madrid for €94 million. At Real Madrid, he became the club’s all-time top scorer and the leading scorer in Champions League history. From 2012 to 2018, he was the competition’s top scorer for six consecutive seasons.
In 2018, Ronaldo joined Juventus in a €100 million transfer, setting records as the most expensive transfer for an Italian club and a player over 30. At Juventus, he became the first player to win the Golden Boot in England, Spain, and Italy. After returning to Manchester United in 2021 and playing one full season as their top scorer, his contract ended in 2022. In 2023, Ronaldo signed with Al Nassr.
Ronaldo made his international debut for Portugal in 2003 at the age of 18. Since then, he has played in over 200 matches and netted 135 goals, establishing himself as the highest scorer in international football history.
Unstoppable CR7 keeps shooting the opponent’s net
During Al-Nassr’s match against Al-Gharafa, the team struggled in the first half. However, Ronaldo’s brilliance in the second half led Al-Nassr to a 3-1 victory. This win temporarily lifted them to second place in the AFC Champions League West Zone standings, bolstering their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage.
Following this, Ronaldo continued his impressive form, scoring two more goals against Damac in the Saudi Pro League. This victory reduced the gap between Al-Nassr and league leaders Al Hilal to five points. Individually, Ronaldo officially reached 915 career goals. His most recent goal, raising his tally to 916, came in a losing effort against Al Ittihad.
Despite his team’s struggles with securing major titles, Ronaldo’s current form suggests that reaching the milestone of 1,000 career goals is within reach.
Ronaldo Hits 916 Goals
As of now, Ronaldo has scored 43 goals in 2024, raising the total to 916 in his career. Specifically, in this season, he has netted 21 goals for both Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team. Notably, since turning 30, Ronaldo has scored over 450 goals—matching the total he achieved from the start of his career until age 29.
With just 84 goals to go before reaching the 1,000-goal milestone, CR7 shows no signs of slowing down as he nears 40. The football world is curious to see when “U40 Machine Gun” will finally run out of ammunition.
