• Cristiano Ronaldo's impressive form continued after scoring for Portugal
• His goals saw Portugal beat Slovakia 3-2 to qualify for the Euro 2024

Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a brace in Portugal's 3-2 win over Slovakia, which fired them into Euro 2024. The double saw Ronaldo reach 125 international goals and a staggering 857 career goals.

After the game, Ronaldo spoke about his future. He declined to disclose what he plans, but he said he only looks at the short term.

Ronaldo has been playing at the highest level since 2002 and continues to defy the odds. He has won almost everything in his club and international career, and by the time Euro 2024 comes around, he will be 39.

He is currently enjoying an incredible season with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League with 10 goals in eight games, making him the leading goalscorer, per Transfermarkt.

Ronaldo has not had career-threatening injuries in his long career, and with his recovery methods, he seems like he could play for a few more seasons before retiring.

Ronaldo on his future

Speaking after Portugal beat Slovakia, he said he is only thinking about the short term.

"I don’t think about the future, I think about the short term and i always try to enjoy the moment," he said, "I love playing for the national team. We played well and we qualified because we have an excellent team, an excellent coach like Martinez," via Fabrizio Romano.

The former Real Madrid star has played over 800 games, but even he knows he can't play forever. The 2026 World Cup could be a target for him, but he will be in his early 40s.

A World Cup title is the only trophy he hasn't won, and maybe that will motivate him to keep going.

Ronaldo reaches new goal-scoring landmark

Continuing his goal-scoring spree, Cristiano Ronaldo achieved significant milestones with his brace against Slovakia, ensuring Portugal's qualification for Euro 2024, Sports Brief reported.

The goals marked his 699th and 700th, excluding penalties, an impressive feat for a player occasionally nicknamed Penaldo by fans for his penalty prowess.

If he maintains his fitness and remains part of the squad in Germany next year, he will make history as the first player to participate in six European Championships, having previously featured in 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.
