Cristiano Ronaldo has once again underlined his legendary status in world football after being named Best Middle East Player at the Globe Soccer Awards 2025 in Dubai. The Portuguese superstar added another prestigious trophy to his glittering collection, further cementing his impact since moving to the Middle East.
Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al Nassr, received the award after a sensational run of form that has defied age and expectations. Remarkably, the 40-year-old forward has scored 40 goals since turning 40, a statistic that highlights his extraordinary longevity and relentless hunger for success. While many players slow down in the latter stages of their careers, Ronaldo continues to perform at an elite level, leading both on and off the pitch.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ronaldo made his intentions clear with a bold statement that quickly went viral. “I want to win trophies… and I will reach 1,000 goals for sure,” he said, reflecting his unshakable confidence and ambition.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner currently stands at 956 career goals, making the historic four-figure milestone a realistic target rather than a distant dream.
