'Addict for football' - Cristiano Ronaldo reveals secrets behind his legendary career with Portugal icon still scoring

<p>Ronaldo, who achieved the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-gets-emotional-after-scoring-900th-career-goal-against-croatia-portugal-star-makes-more-history/blt4449c2433f470997#cs9238ebadeade9def" target="_blank">milestone of scoring 900 career goals</a> last week, has opened up about his successful career and revealed what still motivates him to keep scoring at the age of 39. Ronaldo had a disappointing outing in the Euros where he went five straight games without scoring as Portugal exited the competition from the quarter-final stage. However, he came back strong in the September international break by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-on-way-to-1000-career-goals-bruno-fernandes-hails-portugal-captain-for-winner-against-scotland/blt4447dfd8824d8ddc#cs7e9536bdb7eba7fd" target="_blank">scoring against Croatia and Scotland</a> respectively. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At just 17, the Al-Nassr announced himself to the world with a goal in a league match against Moreirense in 2002. That goal marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey that has taken him to the pinnacle of football across Europe and beyond. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on his <a href="https://youtu.be/UyV8pwPpLJQ" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a> during a chat with former colleague Rio Ferdinand, the 39-year-old said, "Last night I was having dinner with my family and my mum and we spoke about some situations that happened in the Euros. It's the enthusiasm that I still have for the game. I'm [an] addict for football, I'm addicted to scoring goals, and to play at a good level even at my age because I love it." </p>

WHAT RONALDO SAID

<p>The star attacker will be back in action in club football on Friday as Al-Nassr take on Al-Ahli in a Saudi Pro League clash. </p>
