Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to continue playing until he reaches 1,000 career goals, a target he is confident of achieving if he avoids injuries.
The 40-year-old Portugal forward currently has 956 goals for club and country, having scored twice in Al-Nassr's 3-0 victory against Al Akhdoud on Saturday.
Ronaldo, whose contract with Al-Nassr extends until 2027, expressed his high motivation to keep playing football and win trophies.
This ambition marks a shift from a previous interview with Piers Morgan earlier this year where he indicated he would retire "soon", stating he would "probably cry".
He is aiming for a first league title with Al-Nassr and already holds numerous records, including being the only player to score over 100 goals for four different clubs.
