Cristiano Ronaldo starts the new season just 24 goals short of a 1,000-goal milestone after saying the campaign will 'probably' be his last in football. The 41-year-old Al-Nassr forward has scored 976 times for club and country, turning the coming months into a race between a historic total and the end of his playing career.
'This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy,' Ronaldo told Vogue. He has not set a retirement date, but will remain with Al-Nassr this season as he tries to close the gap to a milestone no player has reached using only official competitive matches.
