Cristiano Ronaldo admits he may not reach 1,000 goals: 'It is a lot'

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace in a 3-2 win over Slovakia to help Portugal qualify for Euro 2024 and revealed after the game that he is feeling "good physically" and is "enjoying the moment."

The 38-year-old continued his excellent form for club and country and opened up on his mind state in recent weeks.

"I am enjoying the moment, which is good, I feel good, and my body is responding to what I have given it over the last few years. I am happy both in the national team and at club level. I've scored a lot of goals and I feel good physically," Cristiano told reporters after the Portugal match.

The Portugal captain who currently has 857 professional goals in his career, also revealed he has set himself a target to surpass 900 goals but admitted that 1,000 may be a step too far.

"It's going to be pretty tough, but it's about seeing how I am mentally, my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them? We'll see, they are small stages. 

"Until I get to 1,000, first I have to get to 900. I think I'll get there, but 1,000 goals is a lot."
