Al Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo is now 69 goals short of reaching the 1,000 landmark.
However, the 40-year-old has insisted he is not obsessed about reaching the achievement.
Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr beat Al-Hilal 3-1 on Friday night to move within three points of their rivals.
Speaking after the game, Ronaldo said: “Lads, let’s enjoy the moment. I’m not chasing 1,000.
“If it happens, perfect. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. The moment is the most special thing, not what is going to come, you know.”
Ronaldo has now scored 30 goals in all competitions for the Saudi Pro League side in the 2024-25 season.
This means he would still need to perform at a similar level for another two seasons to hit the landmark.
