Ronaldo chases 1,000-goal milestone as Portugal host Wales in Nations League

Cristiano Ronaldo has his sights set on reaching 1,000 career goals before he retires, with Portugal's UEFA Nations League fixture against Wales providing another opportunity for the veteran forward to add to his extraordinary tally.

Portugal, who enter the match as defending Nations League champions, are determined to maintain their title-winning form on home soil. The contest represents a significant test for both nations as they seek to establish early dominance in their group.

Wales will be looking to cause an upset against one of international football's most decorated sides, though the shadow of Ronaldo's historic personal pursuit is expected to dominate the occasion.
