Cristiano Ronaldo's career goal count has been reduced to 961. This is because some of his goals in certain competitions have been removed, casting doubt on his goal of reaching 1000 goals.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, Cristiano Ronaldo's career goal count has been recalculated. The fact that some tournaments are not officially recognized has led to a decrease in the star footballer's total goal count.
According to Sofascore and Transfermarkt, some of Ronaldo's career goals have been canceled. With this update, the Portuguese star's goal count has dropped to 961.
Previously close to 1000 goals, Ronaldo is now further away from this milestone after the latest update. The 41-year-old footballer needs to score more goals to reach the target.
It was reported that Ronaldo's goals in the 2023 Saudi Arabian Cup were not included in the official statistics because the tournament was considered a friendly match. Despite FIFA's recognition of the tournament, this decision is noteworthy.
