Roberto Carlos, a legend of Real Madrid, remarked that if Cristiano Ronaldo accomplishes the feat of scoring 1,000 career goals, he will not be the first player to do so.

According to him, Pele, his fellow countryman, remains the only player to have netted a thousand goals.

Carlos spoke with OJogo and emphasized that Pele’s record should be acknowledged, as he remains the only player in football history to have scored 1000 career goals.

He is confident that Ronaldo will reach the milestone, but he also points out that he won’t be the first player to achieve it.

He stated through World Soccer Talk:

He said, “For those who love Cristiano and soccer, it’s great to see him keep making history and breaking records.

“The only player who ever scored 1000 goals was Pele, but Cristiano might be able to join that group. I see him looking happy and sure of himself in the Saudi league.

“I’m absolutely certain he’ll reach that milestone. He never gets injured. He keeps playing really well, he’s a great example for others, and Portugal should be proud.”

The Brazilian legend stated that Ronaldo should keep playing, as he can still compete at a high level for several more years.

He added, “Cristiano can’t stop, ever. If he ever decides to stop playing, I’ll call him and tell him not to stop. He should never stop playing soccer, even if he can only use one leg or has to crawl to move.

“He gives a lot of strength and energy to any boy who wants to start playing.”

Throughout his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has netted 961 goals. However, he hasn’t participated in Al-Nassr’s last three matches.
