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. Ronaldo's treble has taken him to 985 career goals as he aims to achieve 1000 goal milestone. 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.'

KING CHARLES BACKS STARMER IN RULING OUT PAYING BILLIONS IN SLAVERY REPARATIONS. (VIDEO/PHOTO).



 King Charles backs Starmer in  ruling out paying billions in slavery reparations


King Charles backed Sir Keir Starmer in effectively ruling out reparations over slavery today, saying: 'None of us can change the past. But we can commit, with all our hearts to learning its lessons and to finding creative ways to right inequalities that endure.'

The monarch - and new head of the Commonwealth - told its meeting of leaders in Samoa that it was important to understand and acknowledge 'the most painful aspects of our past'


But he also made clear that it was crucial to look to the future and right ongoing inequalities through education, skills training, employment, health and addressing climate change.


His words appear to be an endorsement of the British Prime Minister's rejection of demands by some Commonwealth leaders, particularly from the Caribbean, to discuss plans to examine reparatory justice for the transatlantic slave trade, which could leave the UK owing billions of pounds.

He has said he wants to focus on current issues, such as the environment, instead.
