Real Madrid have congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese superstar reached the monumental milestone of 900 career goals for club and country.
Ronaldo, who spent a significant portion of his illustrious career at Los Blancos, hit the landmark during Portugal’s UEFA Nations League opener against Croatia in Lisbon on Thursday. After Diogo Dalot’s early goal, Ronaldo ended his five-game goal drought for Portugal with a crucial strike, making him the first player to score 900 career goals.
Ronaldo played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, and the club celebrated his achievement with a tweet (translated from Spanish) that read:
“Another historic milestone: 900 goals in the professional career of one of Real Madrid’s and world football’s greatest legends. Congratulations, dear and admired @Cristiano! Real Madrid and the Madrid fans are always proud of you.”
