Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese football legend, achieved a milestone by scoring 100 goals in four separate nations.
Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo made history on Saturday by becoming the first player to score 100 goals in four separate countries. The 40-year-old scored during the first half of Saturday afternoon's Saudi Super Cup final matchup with Al Ahli.
Ronaldo has scored 450 goals for Real Madrid, 145 for Manchester United, 101 for Juventus, and 138 for Portugal in his career.
Reacting to his milestone, one of his fans wrote: “That's why he's called the goat 🐐”
“The previous holder of the record was also Cristiano Ronaldo. He keeps breaking his own record,” a second person commented.
“What a career this man's had! And, remarkably, even at over 40, there's still more to come,” a third fan said.
