The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is now 58 goals ahead of his nearest challenger, Lionel Messi, who has 842 goals.

Ronaldo has made it clear that he has no intention of slowing down, already targeting his next goal milestone – 1,000 goals. He estimates that this historic mark could come around the age of 41.

With his dedication and passion for the sport, it’s likely that Ronaldo will continue to break records and push the boundaries of what’s possible in football.
