Joao Felix wants to assist Ronaldo’s historic 1000th career goal

Joao Felix has revealed the special role he wants to play when Cristiano Ronaldo finally reaches one of the biggest milestones in football history.

The Portugal international says he has already thought about Ronaldo’s 1,000th career goal.

And when the moment comes, Felix wants to be the player who provides the assist.

For Felix, helping Ronaldo score goal number 1,000 would be a moment that could live forever in football history.

Felix has already imagined the moment

Speaking about Ronaldo’s chase for 1,000 goals, Felix admitted that he has already imagined how the historic moment could happen.

He explained that when Ronaldo reaches 999 goals, he will be looking for every possible chance to find his teammate in a scoring position.

Felix said:

“That goal will remain in football history.”

And the former Barcelona and Chelsea forward would love to have his own name connected to the moment.

His dream is simple: make the final pass and let Ronaldo finish the move.

Ronaldo is getting closer to 1,000

Ronaldo has made no secret of his desire to reach 1,000 official career goals.

The Portugal captain has continued scoring for both club and country and is now getting closer to the landmark.

According to the widely used official senior career count, Ronaldo currently stands at:

979 GOALS

That means he needs:

21 MORE GOALS

to reach 1,000.

It would be one of the most remarkable individual milestones in football history.

Felix wants to be part of history

For Felix, the importance of the moment is bigger than simply recording another assist.

He grew up watching Ronaldo become one of the greatest players of all time.

Now, he has the chance to play alongside his idol for both club and country.

That is why assisting Ronaldo’s 1,000th goal would carry special meaning for him.

Felix believes that whoever creates the goal will also become part of a moment remembered for generations.

Club and country teammates

Felix and Ronaldo are currently teammates at both:

Al Nassr

Portugal

That gives Felix more chances than most players to be on the pitch when Ronaldo eventually reaches 1,000.

The pair already have experience combining in attack.

Felix has previously provided assists for Ronaldo at Al Nassr.

That makes his dream of creating goal number 1,000 more than just a fantasy.

Felix grew up watching Ronaldo

Like many Portuguese players of his generation, Felix grew up with Ronaldo as the biggest football icon in the country.

Ronaldo had already become a Manchester United superstar before Felix began his professional career.

He later became a Real Madrid legend and Portugal’s record goalscorer.

Felix has spoken about the pride of being able to share a dressing room with a player he once watched as a fan.

Now they are competing together on two different teams.

Ronaldo still believes he can reach the milestone

Ronaldo has also spoken openly about his target.

The 41-year-old still believes reaching 1,000 goals is possible.

However, he has made clear that he does not want the number to become an obsession.

Ronaldo remains focused on helping his teams win while continuing to add goals whenever possible.

He has also spoken about wanting more success with Portugal, including in the Nations League.

The countdown continues

Every Ronaldo goal now brings the 1,000 mark a little closer.

At 979, the distance is down to:

21 GOALS

Given his scoring history, it is a target that continues to attract huge attention.

Fans will not only be watching to see whether Ronaldo can reach the number.

They will also be watching:

Who creates the chance?

Who is on the pitch?

And where does the historic goal happen?

Felix has already chosen his perfect ending

Joao Felix already knows what his ideal version of the story looks like.

Ronaldo reaches 999.

Felix receives the ball.

He finds his Portugal and Al Nassr teammate.

And Ronaldo finishes for number:

1,000

For Felix, that would be more than an assist. It would give him a direct place in one of the biggest scoring moments football has ever seen.
