The goal came in the 34th minute at Lisbon’s Stadium of Light, where Ronaldo celebrated with a mix of relief and joy, dropping to his knees with his hands on his head. It was his 131st goal for Portugal, reinforcing his status as the national team’s all-time leading scorer.

After the match, Ronaldo reflected on the milestone: “It seems like any other milestone, but only I know, and the people around me, how hard it is to work every day, to be physically and psychologically fit, to score 900 goals.” His words emphasize the dedication and effort required to maintain such elite performance well into his late 30s.
This achievement follows a challenging European Championship for Ronaldo, where France eliminated Portugal. Yet, reaching 900 goals is a powerful testament to his resilience and capacity to continue breaking records.
