Ronaldo hits 750 goals mark, sets new target

CRISTIANO Ronaldo reached the remarkable milestone of 750 career goals on Wednesday night and immediately set a new target. 

The Juventus forward scored the landmark goal during his side’s 3-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday night.

After his achievement, Ronaldo used his Instagram account to post a message of gratitude.

And in doing so, the 35-year-old revealed he has no thoughts on ending his relentless pursuit of goals any time soon, insisting that the 800-mark was now firmly in his sights. 

“750 goals, 750 happy moments, 750 smiles in the faces of our supporters,” the 35-year-old wrote.

“Thank you to all the players and coaches that helped me reach this amazing number, thank you to all my loyal opponents that made me work harder and harder everyday. 

“But above all, thanks to my wonderful family, always present in my best and worst moments. Next stop: 800 goals! Let’s go!”

The goal against the Ukrainian side was Ronaldo’s 75th for the Italian champions, with the majority of his strikes coming for Real Madrid.

He scored 450 times for the Spanish giants, 118 times for Manchester United and five times for Sporting Lisbon.

He also has 102 goals on the international stage for Portugal.
