Goal 1: A Star Is Born
On October 7, 2002, a 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first professional goal, marking the beginning of an extraordinary career. The setting was electric, with fans in Portugal eagerly watching as the young talent took to the field.
“Fantastic, unbelievable goal. [And] to be the first one? Good memories, time flies, but the memories are always here. [I’m] proud… proud of myself!”
The moment he found the back of the net, it was clear that a star was born. This goal, now part of the Forever CR7: The GOAT NFT collection, captures the raw talent and potential that Cristiano showcased from the very start. It truly was a moment for any football fan to remember.
Goal 140: The Rocket Man
Fast forward seven years to April 15, 2009, when Cristiano scored one of the most memorable goals of his career. Known as “The Rocket Man,” this goal is a symbol of his incredible power and precision.
The setting was intense, and the crowd in Porto was on the edge of their seats as Cristiano launched a stunning long-range shot that left everyone in awe. Even in high-pressure situations, Cristiano has shown that he can perform at the top of his game with technical goal-scoring ability.
“The best goal of the year in 2009… Very far, nobody believed that I would shoot, and I scored an amazing goal.. It was [on] the road to achieving what I am today.”
Goal 404: The Minute Milestone
When Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 404th goal in 2014, he achieved one of football’s rarest accomplishments. It was Cristiano’s first ever goal scored in the seventh minute of a match, meaning he had finally managed to score in every minute of a game throughout his whole career.
“I’ve scored every minute of a game… probably it’s one of the most difficult things in football.”
Goal 649: The Bicycle Kick
Another iconic moment in Cristiano’s career came in 2018 when he scored a breathtaking bicycle kick. The setting was a high-stakes match in Italy, and Cristiano’s acrobatic goal left fans and players alike in sheer amazement.
“The goal probably is my best goal ever, in my opinion. Difficult, the distance, the goal keeper, the team. When you score important goals, it’s always good memories and it makes me feel happy because it’s [in] my DNA.”
This goal, often referred to as one of the greatest in football history, rightly took the place as the only Super Super Rare NFT in The GOAT collection. Only seven were available, and holders were even able to meet Cristiano in person for their very own training day!
Goals 655, 656, and 657: The Hat-Trick King
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick for his national team, securing a challenging 3-3 draw against a strong adversary, Spain. His first two goals were vital. But it was his third – a masterful free kick that soared over the wall and beyond the goalkeeper’s reach – that truly showcased his brilliance.
“When we play against Spain it’s always a special game, because we are like brothers.”
Every hat trick by Cristiano is a testament to his dominance on the pitch and his status among football’s elite. They serve as an inspiration to fans and players globally.
Goal 712: The Bullet Header

For many fans, it’s a prime example of one of Cristiano’s best headers throughout his whole career. In fact, Cristiano is also of the opinion too!
“The way I jump, the way I look at the ball, the timing, probably my best goal with [my] head.”
