Cristiano Ronaldo’s emotional message after reaching 931 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to build his legendary status in world football. At 40 years of age, the Portuguese star shows no signs of slowing down and keeps finding the back of the net as if he were still in his prime. This time, after scoring his 931st career goal, the forward shared a powerful reflection that highlights how he is fully living in the present, inching ever closer to the mythical 1,000-goal milestone.

“Boys, enjoy the present. I am not thinking about 1,000 goals. The moment is the most special, not what is coming. I enjoy the now,” said Ronaldo after yet another memorable performance. Far from being obsessed with numbers, the legendary striker made it clear that his focus remains on giving his best every day and continuing to compete at the highest level.

His words reflect the experience and maturity he has gained over the years. It is no longer just about records or trophies, but about the joy of doing what he loves and proving that age is no obstacle when passion and professionalism are still intact.

With this latest goal, CR7 moves even closer to a figure that once seemed out of reach. Very few players in history have even touched 800 goals, but Ronaldo surpassed that barrier long ago and now looks set to leave a mark that may never be matched.

From his early days at Sporting Lisbon, through his iconic spells at Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al Nassr, his career has been one of constant evolution. A ruthless goalscorer, a leader on and off the pitch, and an inspiration to millions around the globe.

His message also serves as a reminder to the next generation of footballers, many of whom get lost in the pressure of the future or the rush to achieve goals. Ronaldo encourages them to enjoy the moment, to value the journey, and to live every step with intensity and passion.
