Cristiano Ronaldo continues his relentless pursuit of 1000 career goals, scoring his 915th and 916th goals in Al Nassr’s 2-0 victory over Damac in the Saudi Pro League on Friday. The Portuguese forward delivered yet another standout performance, securing a brace to cement his status as one of football’s all-time greats.
Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 17th minute, calmly converting a penalty despite Damac goalkeeper Al Bukhari guessing the direction. His second goal came with just 11 minutes left on the clock, capitalizing on a precise pass from Boushal to slot the ball into the net and secure victory for Al Nassr.

This latest performance highlights Ronaldo’s extraordinary consistency, with 5 goals in his last 3 matches across club and international competitions. For the season, he now boasts an impressive tally of 20 goals and 4 assists.
Ronaldo reached 900 career goals just last month, and now sits only 84 goals away from the iconic 1000-goal mark. While the milestone is within reach, the legendary forward recently downplayed its significance, stating that he’s focused on enjoying the present: “I would be fine with not getting to 1000 goals. I want to enjoy the moment and focus on the present.”
With a career spanning two decades and featuring stints at top clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, Ronaldo’s ability to maintain his form is nothing short of remarkable. His contributions to Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League reflect his enduring competitiveness and hunger for success.
