982? Or 981? Opta says it's an OWN GOAL 😅

Friday night, Al-Faisaly away. João Félix whips in a free kick, Cristiano gets up higher than everyone, 49th minute, it's in. 2-0.

Al-Nassr win 3-1 and he gets Man of the Match. Then he hands the trophy to Al-Hamdan. Love that.

So that's 982, right? Not so fast.

Opta has it down as an own goal by Girotto, the Al-Faisaly defender, because he touched it last. The league and the referee's report give it to Ronaldo. And loads of people online say he never touched it at all 😅

The whole argument is here if you want it https://aroundprague.cz/en/news/sport/ronaldos-goal-in-doubt-opta-records-it-as-an-own-goal

Me? He's the one who jumps for it. That's his goal.

But this is what the road to 1,000 looks like now. Every header, every deflection, people with calculators.

18 to go. Or 19. Depends who you ask 🐐
