Cristiano Ronaldo eyes 1,000 career goals as Al-Nassr face Damac tonight
Cristiano Ronaldo is 41 goals away from reaching 1,000 career goals. The Al-Nassr forward has already scored 15 times in 15 Saudi Pro League games this season. Tonight’s match against Damac offers another chance to edge closer to the landmark.
Ronaldo’s journey to this milestone includes a memorable miss from his early days. In 2006, during his first spell at Manchester United, he failed to convert a simple tap-in from just three yards against Sheffield United. The shock on his teammates’ faces was clear.
Since that moment, his finishing has improved dramatically. That same season, Sheffield United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny kept Cristiano Ronaldo scoreless across two matches. Yet, over time, the Portuguese star has become far more clinical in front of goal.
Damac currently sit only two points above the relegation zone, giving Cristiano Ronaldo a strong opportunity to add to his tally tonight. A win would also help Al-Nassr maintain their push for the title.
Tonight’s game could see Cristiano Ronaldo move another step toward 1,000 career goals. His form this season suggests he remains one of football’s most lethal finishers. Al-Nassr will rely on Cristiano Ronaldo’s sharpness as they face a struggling Damac side.
