Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most prolific goal scorers in football history. The 39-year-old achieved new heights by breaking the Saudi Pro League’s all-time scoring record.
Cristiano’s season goal tally rose to 35, surpassing Abderrazak Hamdallah’s 34 in 2019.
Following the record-breaking night, he took to social media to express his feelings in a statement posted on ‘X’. “I don’t follow the records, the records follow me,” read the post by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Al-Nassr finished the season in second place behind rivals Al-Hilal who had an exemplary season not having lost a single game through the 34-game season.
Ronaldo’s goal scoring abilities are second to none but the Portuguese forward also relied on his playmaking abilities in the season and finished third in the league for most assists with 11 to his name.
The five-time Champions League winner joined Al-Nassr in 2023 following a fallout with Manchester United and went on to dramatically transform the league. His entrance served as a seal of approval for several prominent names in Europe, like Karim Benzema, Neymar Jr, and Riyad Mahrez, who moved to the Gulf region.
Portugal’s all-time greatest scorer will now focus on the next European Championship, which could be his last chance to win another international trophy with his country.
