Cristiano Ronaldo has now reached an incredible 900 career goals, a milestone that has earned him recognition from Guinness World Records, which subtly acknowledged his status as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) by responding to social media posts with a GOAT emoji. This achievement further solidifies his legendary status in football, putting him ahead of rivals like Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo’s 900th goal came during Portugal’s UEFA Nations League match against Croatia, where his volley in the 34th minute helped secure a 2-1 win. Social media has been abuzz, with users praising Ronaldo and joking about Guinness World Records recognizing his greatness.
This achievement has reignited the long-standing debate about football’s greatest goal-scorers, including Pelé, who is credited with over 1,000 goals, but only fewer than 800 in official matches, leaving him behind Ronaldo, Messi, and others in the official records.
