Cristiano Ronaldo says he “no longer cares” about being the best player in the world and is focused on helping his team-mates.<\/b><\/p>\n
Ronaldo, 39, joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United.<\/p>\n
On Monday the former Real Madrid and Juventus star scored in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 win against Qatari side Al-Rayyan in the AFC Champions League group stage.<\/p>\n
“It is not important anymore whether I am the best or not, I no longer care about that,” the Portugal captain said after the match.<\/p>\n
“It is good for a player to score goals, but for me it is better for the team to win.<\/p>\n
“I am used to breaking records and I no longer look for them. The most important thing for me now is to enjoy and help Al-Nassr and my team-mates to win.”<\/p>\n
The attacker has won the Ballon d’Or on five occasions but has not been shortlisted for the 2024 award.<\/p>\n
After scoring the 904th goal of his career, Ronaldo pointed to the sky rather than performing his usual goal celebration.<\/p>\n
“My goal against Al-Rayyan was different and important because my father would have been happy with it if he was alive, as today [Monday] is his birthday,” he said.<\/p>\n
