Carlo Ancelotti publicly praised the fact that his great mentor Cristiano Ronaldo can reach the mark of 1000 goals scored in his career.

In addition, the 40-year-old forward of An-Nasr and the Portuguese national team has 953 goals.. Saudi Arabia has a long contract until 2027, which gives it enough time to reach the historic milestone.

In an interview with AS, Ancelotti draws parallels between Ronaldo and another veteran, Luka Modric, who signified their love for football.

" Don’t have any doubts, you won’t end up making money,” said the Italian fahive.

Ancelotti added: “Luca and Cristiano are professionals who love football and are passionate about this sport. “Be sure to reach whatever you want,” the coach shouted..

The mentor also responded to the request from the Portuguese when he scored his thousandth goal:.

“Cristiano, without a doubt, reaches 1000 goals, but if Ronaldo earns it, he is not to blame for forgetting to ask me for the celebration of his world record.”.

Ancelotti and Ronaldo played at the same time in Real Madrid, and in 2014 they won the Champions League.

Ronaldo himself recently confirmed that the World Cup 2026 will undoubtedly become his remaining great tournament in his career.
