Cristiano Ronaldo once again caused a stir in the football world after making an extremely strong statement in the international media. The Portuguese star affirmed that he is not only aiming for the 1,000-goal milestone in his career, but is also confident that he will become the brightest candidate for the “Super Ballon d’Or” award – a symbolic title for the greatest player. Not stopping there, Ronaldo also declared that he will win the 2026 World Cup with Portugal, thereby affirming that he is the best player in football history.

This statement immediately created a wave of fierce debate. For CR7 fans, this is proof of his determination and never-ending desire, even though he is 39 years old. Reaching 1,000 goals is an unprecedented milestone in football history, and if Ronaldo can actually do it, it will erase all controversy about his place in the pantheon of legends.

Ronaldo said: “I have prepared for this moment all my life. I don’t play football just to score goals or to be famous, but to conquer heights that no one dares to dream of. The Super Ballon d’Or will be the final proof of my career. And the 2026 World Cup will be the moment when I and Portugal write history.”
This bold statement was immediately shared widely. CR7 fans praised their idol’s confidence and iron will. “If anyone is hungry enough to make the impossible possible, it is definitely Ronaldo,” one fan commented.
However, many people are skeptical. They think that at the age of nearly 40, Ronaldo will hardly be able to maintain his peak form to reach the 1,000-goal mark, let alone win the World Cup. Some other opinions also say that the “Super Ballon d’Or” is too vague a concept, and Ronaldo setting this goal himself is just showing off.

However, it is undeniable that Ronaldo has proven his ability to surpass limits throughout his career. From a poor boy in Madeira, he rose to become a star at Manchester United, then affirmed his name at Real Madrid with a series of scoring records. At Juventus, he continued to show his mettle, and now at Al Nassr, Ronaldo is still regularly “firing” to make experts admire.
The prospect of Ronaldo lifting the 2026 World Cup with the Portuguese team sounds far-fetched, but not impossible. He once won EURO 2016 with Portugal, a tournament that few people thought the team was capable of winning. With experience, leadership spirit and serious preparation, Ronaldo can continue to create miracles.
If that becomes a reality – 1000 goals, Super Ballon d’Or, World Cup – then football history will certainly have to be rewritten. At that time, Ronaldo will not only be a legend, but will become an immortal icon, mentioned as the greatest player of all time, beyond all comparisons and controversies.

Whether you love him or hate him, Ronaldo is still proving one thing: desire has no limits. And sometimes, it is the bold statements that motivate a legend to continue writing his own unbelievable story.
