Cristiano Ronaldo not interested in indivdual records anymore

Cristiano Ronaldo not interested in indivdual records anymore

Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer interested in individual accolades.

The Portuguese icon scored in Al-Nassr's AFC Champions League win against Qatari team Al-Rayyan on Monday (30.09.24) and explained that the success of his team is all that matters to him at this stage of his career.

Ronaldo said after the game: "It is not important anymore whether I am the best or not, I no longer care about that.

"It is good for a player to score goals, but for me it is better for the team to win.

"I am used to breaking records and I no longer look for them. The most important thing for me now is to enjoy and help Al-Nassr and my team-mates to win."

Ronaldo pointed to the sky instead of performing his usual celebration following the 904th goal of his career and explained that it was dedicated to his late father in honour of his birthday.

He said: "My goal against Al-Rayyan was different and important because my father would have been happy with it if he was alive, as today is his birthday."

Ronaldo moved to the Saudi Pro League side in 2023 after leaving Manchester United and said recently that it will "probably" be the final club of his storied career.

He said: "I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years, but probably I will retire here at Al-Nassr.

"I'm happy at this club, I feel good in this country too. I'm happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue."
