Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the 899th goal of his professional career on Tuesday for his Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, says he wants to record 1,000 goals before retiring.

"Soon I will do 900, and after I will beat 1,000... I want to reach 1,000 goals," Ronaldo said on his official YouTube channel in an interview with former England national team star Rio Ferdinand (21:40 mark.)

The Portuguese star, who will turn 40 in February, said he believes he can accomplish the goal by age 41.

"If I [don't] have injuries, this is, for me, it's the most important," Ronaldo said.
