Cristiano Ronaldo sets his sights on jaw-dropping 1,000 goal career target after being challenged to complete the audacious feat by Porto's president, as he extends his international goal haul with a brace for Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo says he wants to score 1,000 goals before he retires after he was challenged to achieve the jaw dropping feat by FC Porto's president.

It came after the Al-Nassr superstar extended his record 125 international goal haul on Friday night, scoring twice to help Portugal claim a 3-2 victory in their Euro 2024 qualifying match against Slovakia, which was also his 200th appearance for the national side.

The 38-year-old surpassed Ali Daei's 15-year international scoring record back in 2021 and subsequently became FIFA's all-time leading goalscorer back in 2022, having now scored a staggering 857 goals throughout his career.
