'Ronaldo Not Obsessed With 1,000-goal Milestone,' Says Portugal Coach Martinez
Saudi Pro League: Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez has dismissed suggestions that star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is fixated on reaching the 1,000-goal milestone, stating that the veteran forward remains focused on team performance rather than personal records.
Ronaldo, who has scored over 950 career goals and continues to lead the line for both Portugal and Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, recently picked up a muscle injury that has sidelined him for a few weeks. The 41-year-old was consequently left out of Portugal’s squad for the ongoing international friendlies as a precaution.
Despite the setback, Ronaldo has enjoyed a strong run of form this season, scoring consistently for his club and maintaining an impressive goals-per-game ratio. His performances have reinforced confidence in his availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he is expected to play a key role for the national side.
