Now, both football legends are approaching one of the most important milestones in their careers: 1,000 goals. <\/p>\n<p>During the match against Inter Miami, the 38-year-old Argentine star racked up 892 goals in 1,132 games, leaving him 108 goals behind this record. Against Nashville, Leo scored off an assist from Rodrigo de Paul, but could not prevent a 1-2 loss.<\/p>\n<p>He is also just one assist away from reaching 400 assists (399), contributing 27 goals (17 goals, 10 assists) in his last 15 games. But CR7 isn&#8217;t far behind either. <\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese star took two further steps in the race to 1,000 goals after scoring twice against Al Nasr and Al Fayha in the new round of the Saudi Professional League. The first goal came in the 37th minute with an assist from Sadio Mann. They broke the deadlock with a penalty kick in the 94th minute, ending the match with a final score of 2-1. <\/p>\n<p>Thus, at the age of 40, Cristiano Ronaldo has amassed 952 goals and 259 assists in 1,295 games, leaving him 48 goals away from becoming the only player to reach this milestone. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, they both occupy the top two spots in soccer history, with Leo followed by Joseph Bican (805 points), Pell (757 points) and Romario (745 points). <\/p>\n<p>However, among active players, Robert Lewandowski with 701 goals, Luis Surez with 597 goals and Karim Benzema with 502 goals are in the top five.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continue to show why they are among the top standards in the sport and that age is no barrier to them continuing to set records while continuing to fascinate fans with their football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/mls\/2025\/11\/02\/6907947f268e3e21278b45b8.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nashville SC defeated Inter Miami 2-1, forcing a decisive third game in the first round of the MLS Playoffs.
