The timeless star of Al-Nassr was at the heart of the action during the victory of his team against Al-Hilal in the Saudi professional league on Friday evening, returning to three points from the second. Ronaldo scored the 47th and 88th minutes to seal the victory, but made a surprising statement after the match.
After this important victory, Ronaldo said: ” The guys, savor the present moment. I do not run after the 1,000. If it happens, so much the better. If it doesn't happen, it won't happen. The most important thing is the present moment, not what will happen. Savor the present moment, and it was a great victory, not because I marked, of course. I'm happy to have scored two goals against al-Hilal, but the most important thing is to win the derby. We play against a fantastic team outside, it's always difficult, you have to appreciate and continue, because there are nine games and there is one in the Champions League. Everything is possible, you have to continue and believe it.

Cristiano Ronaldo concentrated on the present
Ronaldo has already mentioned this milestone, adding: “I reached the 900 bar last month (in October 2024) and now they already want 1,000. It almost became an obligation. This is why I say: live the present moment and see what my legs will give me in the years to come. »» The five-time gold balloon scored 30 goals in all competitions for the Saudi team in 2024-25, which means that it would still have to perform at a similar level for two additional seasons to reach this CAP.
Ronaldo was recently mentioned for a possible collaboration with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, but for the moment, he focuses on the conquest of a trophy by Al-Nassr, who will face al-Riyadh on April 12.
