Al Nassr FC forward Cristiano Ronaldo has reached a remarkable milestone, scoring 500 goals after turning 30, further cementing his status as one of the greatest goal scorers in football history.
Since celebrating his 30th birthday in February 2015, Ronaldo has continued to defy age, maintaining an extraordinary scoring rate across club and international competitions. His goals have come in top leagues, European tournaments, and for the Portugal national football team, demonstrating his consistency and longevity at the highest level of the game.
According to a post by Fabrizio Romano on X on Saturday, Romano was quoted as saying, “Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 500 goals after turning 30.”
Ronaldo’s brace against Al-Hazem FC on Saturday took his total career goals to 964, bringing him closer to the coveted 1,000-goal milestone.
The achievement highlights Ronaldo’s dedication to fitness, technique, and sharpness in front of goal. Very few players in football history have sustained such prolific scoring well into their 30s.
This milestone adds to an already glittering career that includes multiple UEFA Champions League titles, league championships in England, Spain, and Italy, and the prestigious UEFA European Championship with Portugal.
Ronaldo’s 500-goal tally after turning 30 underscores why he remains a dominant figure in world football, continuing to inspire fans and young players around the globe.
