VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo scores stunning free-kick to reach 899th career goal
Ronaldo reaches 64 free-kick goals, 53rd at club level to see Al-Nassr secure 4-1 win against Al-Feiha
Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo recently reached 899th career goal by scoring a stunning free-kick for his team Al-Nassir during a Saudi Pro League match against Al-Feiha.
Ronaldo has faced tough luck in free-kicks in recent years, however, he managed to find the back of the net to score his career's 64th free-kick goal to see his side secure 4-1, NDTV reported.
This was also the Portuguese footballer's 53rd free-kick goal at the club level.
Furthermore, apart from contributing to his side's 4-1 win against Al-Feiha, the goal also made him the first player to score a free-kick goal consecutively in 23 seasons since his debut back in 2002.
As he stands on the brink of the 900-goal mark, Ronaldo has previously expressed his intention of pursuing the 100-goal achievement in his career.
"It's going to be pretty tough, but it's about seeing how I am mentally, my motivation [...] until I get to 1,000, first I have to get to 900. I think I'll get there," the acclaimed footballer had said in a recent interview.
It is to be noted that the Al-Nassr striker, while speaking to the Portuguese TV channel NOW, revealed that he plans to bid farewell to the sport while playing for the Saudi club.
"I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years... but probably I will retire here at Al-Nassr," he said.
