One day after not being nominated for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, Portuguese star forward Cristiano Ronaldo became the first men’s player in international soccer’s history to score 900 career goals in official matches.
Ronaldo, nicknamed CR7 because of his uniform number, reached the milestone in Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Croatia in a UEFA Nations League match. Ronaldo scored his team’s second goal on a close-range volley off a deft cross from Nuno Mendes.
