Joao Felix says he wants to be the player who assists Cristiano Ronaldo as he approaches his 1,000th career goal. Multiple reports state that Felix has set his sights on providing the pass for the milestone strike.

The outlets cite Ronaldo’s goal tally as 979 goals across club and country, leaving him 21 goals short of 1,000. Times of India adds that Felix says he has already imagined the scenario, describing it as a moment that would remain in football history. Soccer News similarly frames Felix’s comments around being the one to create Ronaldo’s landmark goal, without adding further context on where or when the assist might happen. Both accounts present Felix’s intention as a personal desire rather than a confirmed plan.
