The captain of the Portuguese national team, in a press conference previewing the game on 24 September against Wales at the start of the Nations League, said he does not know when he will end his career and that, since the age of 30, he has only lived in the moment. However, he also says that "when he stops," he will make sure the world knows. The Portuguese player also says that he is "not old enough to think about the future," and that he intends to live in the "present and day-to-day."

Even so, Cristiano Ronaldo says his main goal is to score 1000 goals in his career, showing that it is not an obsession but a goal that prioritises "enjoying the present."

Currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 979 career goals for both national teams and clubs. He has said he would like to reach 1000 goals in a match for the Portuguese national team, adding that "it would be another beautiful story."
