Cristiano Ronaldo Impossible to Ignore

Saudi is him dropping levels though. He plays for one of the best teams in a generally poor quality league and scores almost every game because the team is set up to get him chances.Radostanradical said:
I can't see it unless he significantly drops levels and carries on playing over the next 5 -6 years, he has scored 900 goals over 22 years as a professional footballer. That averages out 40 goals a season, if he maintained that rate he would do it in 2 and a half years so around 42. 900 is incredible achievement though.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Scored his 900th career goal last night.
Will he play on until he gets 1,000?
Scored 50 last season, has 4 in 4 this season. If he can get similar again this year then he will be close to 950 goals and then will probably only need another one and a bit seasons more to reach 1000.2 -
He might hang on and try to go to the 2026 world cup but there's absolutely no chance at all he's still there for Euro 2028. He'd be 43 years old!sam3110 said:He's an absolute beast, and unless he has a career ending injury will play for another 4 or 5 years, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he makes the Euro 2028 squad, even if he's not starting games. 1000 career goals will be had, he's now 62 goals ahead of Messi and you can be certain he'll want to extend that as much as possible0 -

Pepe played in the Euros this year aged 41 so although unlikely it’s not impossible.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Unless the manager makes the decision for him, i think he'll retire from international football after the 2026 World cup.
As for overall i think once he gets to 1,000 goals he won't stick around too much longer. I don't think he has many other targets to achieve and that seems to be the last one he's aiming for.1 -

With his conditioning, I honestly won't be surprised if he's still playing at 43, especially back in Portugal, I notice his boyhood club Nacional have just been re-promoted to the top flight. I don't think he'll retire from international football until he retires from all football, it will be more if they pick him or notChris_from_Sidcup said:

Stanley Matthews played until he was 50. It was a different era but Ronaldo has the benefit of better nutrition guides.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
