Cristiano Ronaldo Honored with Exclusive ‘GOAT’ Jersey by Al Nassr After 900th Career Goal
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again etched his name into football history by scoring his 900th career goal during a thrilling Nations League match against Croatia. This remarkable achievement was celebrated by his Saudi Pro League club, Al Nassr, with a special ‘GOAT’ (Greatest of All Time) jersey that marked this milestone. Here’s a closer look at Ronaldo’s historic accomplishment and the tribute from Al Nassr.
Ronaldo’s 900th Goal: A Historic Moment
During the Nations League fixture, Ronaldo delivered a decisive late goal that secured a 2-1 victory for Portugal. The goal came in the 88th minute when Ronaldo, coming on as a second-half substitute, capitalized on a deflected cross from Nuno Mendes. The ball, deflected off Diogo Jota’s foot, landed perfectly for Ronaldo, who made no mistake in converting it into the net. This crucial goal not only earned Portugal the win but also marked Ronaldo’s 900th career goal, a testament to his enduring excellence and prowess on the field.
Al Nassr’s Special Tribute
In honor of this incredible milestone, Al Nassr presented Ronaldo with a custom ‘GOAT’ jersey featuring the number 900. The presentation took place on Friday, just before the kickoff of Al Nassr’s match against Al Ahli. The club’s tribute was further highlighted by a spectacular tifo with messages such as ‘900 goals’ and ‘Only heroes achieve glory,’ celebrating Ronaldo’s extraordinary achievements and his impact on the sport.
