Cristiano Ronaldo reaches 910 career goals
Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player in men's professional football history to score 900 goals. He is keen on reaching the 1000 goal milestone as well and was recently backed by John Terry to do so. Ronaldo is slowly but steadily working his way towards the unprecedented milestone. His brace against Poland meant that the 39-year-old forward has now managed 910 career goals.
Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo are set to return to action on November 18, against Croatia. Considering Portugal have already reached the quarter-finals of the Nations League, it will be interesting to see whether Ronaldo starts that game.
