Glorious Free-kick by Cristiano Ronaldo for his 899th Career Goal - Watch now!

Rarely do we witness Cristiano Ronaldo, a legendary footballer, scoring free-kick goals. Most of the time, his attempts miss the target, but on Tuesday, things were different. During Al-Nassr's match against Al-Feiha in the Saudi Pro League, the Portuguese star showcased his skills. Despite being a natural goal scorer, Ronaldo had been struggling with free-kicks in recent years. However, in this match, he rediscovered his touch and ability to find the back of the net from set pieces.

The free-kick goal also marked Ronaldo's 899th career goal, leaving him just one goal shy of the historic 900-mark. Ronaldo already has 130 goals for his country at the international stage, putting him at the absolute top of the standings.

Ronaldo's approach towards the free-kick goal was also intriguing. The 39-year-old usually takes a few steps back and tries to hit the ball with power. However, against goalkeeper Abdulraouf Al-Duqayl stunned, he opted for a more measured approach. This time, it was more about beating the goalkeeper by sheer placement and precision. Ronaldo executed that to perfection, scoring his 64th career goal through a free-kick.

In a recent interview, Ronaldo had spoken about the 1000-goal milestone that he intends to reach in his career. Already sitting on 899 goals, however, Ronaldo would need his body to help him quite a lot if he is to reach the historic landmark.

"It's going to be pretty tough, but it's about seeing how I am mentally, my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them? We'll see, they are small stages. Until I get to 1,000, first I have to get to 900. I think I'll get there," Ronaldo had said about the record.

"If you look at my career for the last 20 years, my level is high. If you are top for 20 years, it's unbelievable. I do that and I continue to do that. For me, it's a big achievement," he had said.
