While many fans are waiting for him to hit the 1000 mark, the player, who remains the only footballer in history to have scored over 900 official goals is not obsessed with it.

Speaking to El Chiringuito, however, Ronaldo said the talk of reaching 1000 goals was getting a "bit annoying."

“If I could achieve it, it would be great… but I’m not obsessed with it. It’s getting a bit annoying to talk about,” Ronaldo said (via journalist Fabrizio Romano’s X handle).

In the 150 years of football's existence, only 24 players have managed to hit the back of the net 500 times or more in their careers. Out of them, only four are currently active — Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, Luis Suarez, and Ronaldo.
