Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear that he is far from done, insisting that his hunger for success remains as strong as ever as he chases more trophies and the historic landmark of 1,000 career goals.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner spoke on Sunday at the 16th edition of the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, where he once again underlined his determination to keep competing at the highest level despite his long and glittering career.
“I want to win more titles, and I know I will reach that number,” Ronaldo said. “It’s not easy to keep playing for so long, but the passion is still there and it drives me every day. No matter where I play, whether in the Middle East or Europe, I always enjoy football. My goal has always been the same: to win trophies and score goals. And yes, I want to reach 1,000 goals. If injuries stay away, I will get there.”
Ronaldo’s comments reflect the mindset that has defined his career, an unrelenting desire to push boundaries and set new records. The Portuguese star recently added another accolade to his collection after being named the Best Middle East Player at the 2025 Globe Soccer Awards.
Currently playing for Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, Ronaldo continues to deliver on the pitch, recently taking his career tally to 956 goals. With league titles, Champions League triumphs, domestic trophies, and major international honours already to his name, the legendary forward remains focused on writing yet another chapter in his remarkable story.
As he closes in on the unprecedented 1,000-goal milestone, fans around the world will be watching closely to see how Ronaldo tackles what could be the final great challenge of his iconic career.
