1,000 career goals: Carlo Ancelotti sends his support to Cristiano Ronaldo

After setting his sights on winning the 2026 World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo has another major target: reaching 1,000 career goals. Carlo Ancelotti believes CR7 can do it.

Before hanging up his boots, Cristiano Ronaldo wants to hit the 1,000-goal mark in his career. The Al-Nassr striker is just 47 goals shy of the milestone, and Carlo Ancelotti, his former coach at Real Madrid, is confident that Ronaldo will reach this incredible feat.

"He'll make it, I'm sure of it. Don't have any doubt, he'll do it. Recently in Italy I was asked about Modric playing into his 40s, and I said of course he would shine at Milan. Luka and Cristiano are professionals who are passionate about football. They'll always achieve their goals. Cristiano will undoubtedly reach 1,000 goals, but when he does, he can't forget to invite me to celebrate this incredible record," the Italian told AS in an interview.
