Watch: how Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the season against Al Taawoun in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup

Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s initial goal of the season, fans have been emphasizing the same point.

Ronaldo has been playing in Saudi Arabia since joining Al Nassr following the bitter conclusion of his second tenure with Manchester United.

As a result of the former Real Madrid and Juventus superstar’s relocation to the Saudi Pro League, clubs have invested significant funds in an effort to attract some of Europe’s leading players to the Middle East.

Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Neves, and Riyad Mahrez have all since made significant financial transfers to the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr initiated their 24/25 season with the Saudi Arabian Super Cup against Al Taawoun on Wednesday evening.

Ronaldo scored his second goal with 57 minutes remaining, following Ayman Yahya’s goal in the eighth minute.

Fans are adamant that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner can achieve 1000 career goals, as evidenced by their reactions on social media.

A devotee declared, “1,000 goals are imminent.”

An additional tweet read: “We are on our way to achieving 1,000 goals.”

Additionally, a third enthusiast stated, “We are certain to score 1,000 goals.”

Another individual composed the following: “He has the potential to achieve 1,000 objectives.”

A fifth responded, “I have been eagerly anticipating his return and am overjoyed that he is scoring 900 goals. The next step is to reach 1000 goals.”

An additional supporter stated, “My GOAT has scored 896 career goals and is unyielding. I guarantee that he will surpass 1000 goals.”

The Portuguese captain, who led Portugal to victory at Euro 2024, is still in excellent health at the age of 39.

Nevertheless, his attempt to secure a second Euros title was unsuccessful as he was defeated by France in a penalty shootout.

After the match, he acknowledged that his Euros voyage was concluded.

He stated, “It is, without a doubt, my final European Championship,” as reported by O Jogo. However, I remain unemotional regarding that matter. I am profoundly affected by the entirety of football’s significance, including my passion for the sport, my family, my supporters, and the affection that others have for me.

“The issue is not whether or not I should retire from football; if I do, what other endeavors or victories would I have to accomplish?” The objective will not be to accumulate an additional or diminished number of points. I am most motivated by the satisfaction of others.
