Ronaldo becomes first player in football history to score 900 GOALS

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player in football history to score 900 goals after his cool finish put Portugal 2-0 up against Croatia

What seemed like a typical Ronaldo goal, the icon lurking in at the back post to tap home a smart cross from the left, turned out to be a momentous moment, with the 39-year-old passing the incredible landmark while wearing his national shirt.

Rafael Leao dropped deep on the left-hand side to collect the ball as the former Real Madrid man waited in the box, along with Bruno Fernandes.

The AC Milan star then produced a pinpoint delivery which was just begging to be prodded home – and ‘CR7’ obliged, wheeling off in celebration presumably aware of what he had just achieved.

Portugal eventually won the game 2-1 after Croatia pulled a goal back through an own goal from Man United’s Diogo Dalot but this Nations League match will be remembered for yet another historic moment provided by the Portuguese legend.
