<p><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/photo/cristiano-ronaldo-achieves-elusive-feat-in-his-career-102087/1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong></a> scored his 900th career goal for club and country, a feat which has never been done before.</p>
<p>The six-time Ballon d&rsquo;Or winner scored Portugal&rsquo;s second goal during their 2-1 win over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League group fixture. Following the tremendous achievement, Ronaldo stated that he does not break records but rather &lsquo;they haunt him.&rsquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;900 goals seems like any other milestone, but only I know how hard it is to work every day to score your 900th goal. It&rsquo;s a unique milestone in my career. I don&rsquo;t break records they haunt me,&rdquo; said Ronaldo in the post-match interview.</p>

<p>Ronaldo&rsquo;s goal proved to be the difference maker on the night and helped Portugal to get off to a winning start in their Nations League Group A campaign. It was his 131st goal for the 2016 Euro winners.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/acl-ronaldos-al-nassr-dumped-in-quarters-23339640" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Al-Nassr</strong></a> forward fell down to his knees after scoring from the edge of the six-yard box in celebration of his milestone and was emotional from the overwhelming moment of having the honour to do it in his home country.</p>
<p>Although it remains unsure when Ronaldo&rsquo;s international career may come to an end with the Portuguese having recently admitted that it will be &lsquo;spontaneous decision,&rsquo; the 39-year old went on to state he is not motivated to win trophies for the national team anymore.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Portugal winning Euros is equivalent to winning a World Cup. I&rsquo;ve already won two trophies for Portugal that I really wanted. I&rsquo;m not motivated by that. I&rsquo;m motivated by enjoying football and the records come naturally,&rdquo; he added.</p>
