Cristiano Ronaldo Hits Another Milestone: 139 Goals for Portugal, 941 Career Goals

Cristiano Ronaldo hit a new milestone with 139 international goals for Portugal and 941 career goals. He is the top goalscorer in football history.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On September 6, 2025, Ronaldo scored his 139th international goal, increasing his lead as the top scorer in international men’s football. His total is now 941 career goals, counting international, club, and all official games.

He has 24 goals from 29 appearances across all matches, featuring very impressive stats. As his club’s top goalscorer, he is key to Al Nassr’s bid for the title with over 30 league goals this season. With his recent three international goals, Ronaldo has scored 8 goals for Portugal and 43 in total this season.

RECORDS AND RECENT FORM

Ronaldo managed to maintain his highest performance levels as he approaches his 40th birthday. He has 16 goals in 24 Al Nassr appearances this season, taking them to second place on the Saudi Pro League table, just two points off of the leaders.

In their next fixture, Al Nassr play hosts to Al Hilal, the league leaders, in a crucial match that could shape the final standings and the title. He helped Portugal win the UEFA Nations League in June 2025, heading up the first goal as they overcame the Netherlands in the final, having scored 8 goals in 9 appearances in that tournament.

Portugal are preparing for their next World Cup qualifier, having just topped their group after beating Armenia thanks to Ronaldo’s record-equalling goal.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down as he approaches his 40th birthday. He is a key figure for both Al Nassr and Portugal, who rely on his skill and goal-scoring record.

The question of how long he will remain in the upper echelons of the game has lingered for years, but his excellent fitness and mentality, coupled with his records, suggest he can continue for a number of years. In fact, he is the first player to score 100 goals for four clubs and his country, setting a remarkable achievement in the sport according to reports.

He now looks to pass the landmark 950-goal career milestone, with more and more fans expecting to see it happen. Portugal, meanwhile, prepare for their World Cup qualifying matches, ready to keep the star man in the limelight.
