Former Inter Miami |A|
boss Phil Neville has |B|
hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as |C|
the GOAT after the |D|
Al-Nassr superstar created history |E|
last week. The 39-year-old |F|
became the first player |G|
to score 900 career |H|
goals for club and |J|
country. Ronaldo achieved the |K|
milestone by scoring his |L|
team's second goal in |M|
Portugal's 2-1 win over |O|
Croatia in their UEFA |P|
Nations League opener. The |Q|
five-time Ballon d'Or winner |R|
snapped a five-game scoreless |S|
run with his national |U|
team, having drawn blanks |V|
in five games at |Y|
Euro 2024, where they |Z|
lost to France on |A|
penalties in the quarter-final. |B|
|O| data-imp-id="article_paragraph_4">Among many players - |P| current and former - |Q| and coaches who commented |R| on the post was |S| Neville, who had spent |U| a short stint at |V| Inter Miami before he |Y| was replaced by current |Z| boss Tata Martino.
Neville |A| simply typed the GOAT |B| emoticon in the comment. |C| Here's a screenshot of |D| his comment on Ronaldo's |E| Instagram post:
Coming to |F| the aforementioned game, Franck |G| Kessie's 57th-minute strike set |H| Al-Ahli to a memorable |J| victory at Mrsool Park |K| before Bassam Mohammed Alhurayji's |L| in the ninth minute |M| of stoppage time salvaged |O| a point for Luis |P| Castro's side.
The stalemate |Q| leaves the Knights of |R| Najf in sixth place |S| with five points after |U| three games, a point |V| behind leaders Al-Hilal, who |Y| have a game in |Z| hand.
Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo |A| registers 1 billion followers |B| on social media
Apart |C| from his on-field accomplishments, |D| Cristiano Ronaldo has also |E| created history off the |F| field. On Friday, the |G| Portugal captain became the |H| first person to register |J| a staggering one billion |K| followers across social media, |L| as reported by the |M| BBC. That includes 61 |O| million followers on his |P| new YouTube channel UR |Q| Cristiano.

Nevertheless, the |B| number is significant. For |C| perspective, the Al-Nassr captain's |D| arch-rival Lionel Messi's overall |E| social media following in |F| 623 million, with singer |G| Selena Gomez a distant |H| second with 690 million.
