Cristiano Ronaldo Hits Historic 500-Goal Milestone Since Turning 30

Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo has added another extraordinary chapter to his legendary career, reaching the milestone of 500 career goals scored after the age of 30.

The 41-year-old Portuguese superstar achieved the feat on Saturday after netting a brace against Al-Hazem FC.

These goals not only pushed him past the 500-mark post-30 but also brought his total career goals to a staggering 964, inching him closer to the historic 1,000-goal target.

Since celebrating his 30th birthday in February 2015, Ronaldo has maintained a scoring rate that defies the typical physical decline associated with aging in professional sports.

His goals during this period have been spread across Europe’s top leagues, elite continental competitions, and international matches for Portugal.

Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano highlighted the achievement on Saturday, noting the rarity of such prolific output in the later stages of a professional career.

This latest milestone serves as a testament to Ronaldo’s rigorous dedication to fitness and technical excellence.

Very few players in the history of the sport have managed to sustain such high-level performance well into their late 30s and early 40s.

Already a holder of multiple UEFA Champions League titles, domestic league trophies in England, Spain, and Italy, and the 2016 European Championship, Ronaldo continues to be a dominant force in world football.

His persistent form at Al Nassr suggests that the race to 1,000 career goals remains very much alive.
