Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved yet another extraordinary milestone, scoring 500 goals since turning 30 to further cement his legacy as one of football’s greatest goal scorers.
The Al Nassr FC forward reached the landmark after netting a brace against Al-Hazem FC on Saturday. The goals took his overall career tally to 964, moving him significantly closer to the historic 1,000-goal milestone — a feat rarely achieved in professional football.
Since celebrating his 30th birthday in February 2015, Ronaldo has defied age and expectations, maintaining an elite scoring rate across domestic leagues, continental competitions, and international tournaments. His remarkable consistency for both club and the Portugal national football team underscores his longevity at the highest level of the sport.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano highlighted the achievement in a post on X, confirming that Ronaldo has now scored 500 goals after turning 30 — a statistic that reflects his enduring dominance in world football.
Very few players in football history have sustained such prolific goal-scoring form deep into their 30s. Ronaldo’s discipline, elite fitness standards, sharp movement, and clinical finishing have enabled him to remain a decisive figure on the pitch.
The five-time UEFA Champions League winner and European Championship champion continues to rewrite the record books. As he edges closer to the 1,000-career-goal mark, Ronaldo’s latest milestone reinforces his status as a global football icon and an inspiration to the next generation of players.
