Ronaldo's maths: 857+38=1,000

Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal qualify for Euro 2024 with a brace in a 3-2 win over Slovakia on Friday night. Despite 38 years, the mesmerizing forward said he is feeling "good physically" and is "enjoying the moment" he is experiencing both with the national team and at Saudi club Al-Nassr.

"I am enjoying the moment, which is good, I feel good, my body is responding to what I have given it over the last few years. I am happy both in the national team and at club level. I've scored a lot of goals and I feel good physically," Cristiano told reporters after the Portugal match.

Ronaldo explained that he is now thinking "in the short term", and one of the goals he has set himself is to reach 900 goals, following a conversation this week with Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, who challenged him to reach 1,000.

"It's going to be pretty tough, but it's about seeing how I am mentally, my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them? We'll see, they are small stages. Until I get to 1,000, first I have to get to 900. I think I'll get there, but 1,000 goals is a lot," he said.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid player has scored 857 goals in his professional career so far.
