Ronaldo is currently a super sub; 99 more to reach the 1000 milestone.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo after Portugal's winning goal, his 901st career

 

It shouldn't be able to breathe like it did when it was 39 years old. The decision by Portugal coach Roberto Martinez to open the game against Scotland without Cristiano Ronaldo on the field may not have surprised many people.

However, Martinez had to start the second half without his most seasoned player because his team was behind Scotland's Scott McTomin 1-0. And not too many people should be shocked that since Ronaldo entered the game, Portugal's play has accelerated. He may relieve himself of the load, as he is no longer in debt!

Portugal equalized in the 53rd minute through a goal from Bruno Fernandez, who cut the opposition no matter how close to the edge he was. Ronaldo then entered as a Super sub after netting the game-winning goal for Portugal in the 88th minute. 

                              

In the last UEFA Nations League game against Croatia, Ronaldo scored the game-winning goal. He achieved the 900 goal milestone with that goal. The Portuguese football hero, who became the first player in club and international history to reach 900 goals in a career, also mentioned his aspiration to reach 1,000 goals! Given that, it's fair to say that Ronaldo still has 99!
