Cristiano Ronaldo, a superstar football player, reaffirmed his goal of scoring 1,000 goals while hinting at a potential return to Europe.

Al-Nassr defeated Al Akhdoud 3-0 on Saturday afternoon, and Ronaldo, 40, scored two goals to increase his total to 956.

Former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward Ronaldo gave a fresh perspective on his future while speaking at an awards ceremony in Dubai on Sunday. He stated that he wanted to “keep going.”.

‘My passion is high and I want to continue. It doesn’t matter where I play, whether in the Middle East or Europe,’ said Ronaldo.

‘I always enjoy playing football and I want to keep going.

‘I will reach the number (1000 goals) for sure, if no injuries.’ 

Ronaldo’s double for Al-Nassr on Saturday also brought the number of goals he has scored this year to 40.

He has now scored more than 40 times in 14 different calendar years across his career.

Ronaldo’s most successful campaign in terms of goals was in 2013, when he scored 63 times in all competitions for club and country.

In an interview with Piers Morgan last month, he said he believes he is one or two years away from retirement.
