'You fell off' - Al Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo under fire as costly penalty miss sparks outrage
Fans are not holding back in their criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo after his penalty miss for Al-Nassr.
Petit says Ronaldo will not hit 1000 goals
)
"Cristiano Ronaldo won't reach 1000 goals, even if he plays in Saudi Arabia until 42 years old," Petit told Jeffbet (via GOAL).
"It will be extremely hard to average 30-40 goals a season at that age, and he will only decline with age. I don't expect him to get near that figure, honestly."
Meanwhile, Ronaldo's penalty miss on Monday night proved costly, as Al Nassr crashed out of the King's Cup.
The Portugal captain is still waiting for his first major trophy with the Saudi club, and it's looking increasingly unlikely this season.
If there's one thing Ronaldo thrives on, it is proving people wrong. Expect CR7 to take Petit's words as a personal affront and push for 1000 goals.
