Cristiano Ronaldo Closes In On 1,000-Goal Milestone After Scoring Hattrick In Al-Nassr's Victory Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on a historic 1,000th career goal after scoring a hat-trick in Al Nassr's 5-3 win over Al Kholood, taking his total goal-scoring count to 985. The 41-year-old Portugal star scored all three within 15 second-half minutes, finding the back of the net in the 66th, 72nd and 81st minutes to seal all three points at Alawwal Park on Thursday night, October 19.

Addressing the target with his former teammate Rio Ferdinand in 2024, Ronaldo said: 'I want to reach 1,000 goals. If I don't have any injuries, this for me is the most important (thing), I want that. 'For me, the best mark that I can have in football is to reach, first, 900 goals. After, my challenge is to be at 1,000 goals.'

LETTER TO THE POPE: ERDOGAN URGES HUMANITY TO STOP MORE BREACHES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN GAZA. (PHOTO).


 Erdogan urges humanity to stop more breaches of international law in Gaza



In letter to Pope Francis, the Turkish president says lasting peace, stability in Middle East is not possible without fair resolution of Palestine-Israel issue.


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called upon people worldwide to speak out against the Israeli bombing of hospitals, schools, mosques, and churches in Palestine's Gaza.


"Humanity must prevent further violations of international law in Gaza," Erdogan said in a letter to Pope Francis on Saturday, emphasising that innocent people and civilian infrastructure should never be targeted, even in times of war.


Stressing that killing is forbidden in all Abrahamic faiths, he said humanity "must raise its voice against the deliberate bombing of hospitals, schools, mosques and churches that should not be violated, even in wartime."


"The challenges that we face, particularly the indiscriminate Israeli attacks in Gaza, where deaths by starvation occur due to the failure to deliver humanitarian aid even during the holy month of Ramadan, and the global impact of the Ukraine War, which is now in its third year, require the international community to act in cooperation and coordination," Erdogan said.
