Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved a remarkable milestone in the Saudi Pro League, surpassing the previous scoring record with his outstanding performance for Al-Nassr. In a recent match against Al-Ittihad, the 39-year-old forward netted twice, bringing his total goals for the season to an impressive 35, surpassing Abderrazak Hamdallah’s mark of 34 set in 2018-19. Notably, Ronaldo achieved this feat in fewer matches than his predecessor.
Since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023 on a free transfer from Manchester United, Ronaldo has showcased his exceptional scoring ability, tallying an incredible 64 goals in 69 appearances across all competitions.
Despite Ronaldo’s remarkable contributions, Al-Nassr finished second in the league table for the second consecutive season, trailing behind champions Al-Hilal by 14 points. However, they maintained a significant lead over third-placed Al-Ahli, finishing 17 points clear.
Ronaldo’s illustrious career spans 22 years, during which he has amassed an extraordinary total of 765 goals for clubs including Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. Additionally, he holds the record for international goals, having scored 128 times in 206 appearances for Portugal.
Ronaldo’s latest achievement underscores his enduring prowess on the football field and further solidifies his status as one of the sport’s ultimate legends.
