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 amassed a staggering 857 goals during his glittering career.
