Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Saudi Pro League Goal Record with Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo has set a new record for goals scored in a Saudi Pro League season, netting twice for Al-Nassr in their 4-2 victory against Al-Ittihad to bring his tally to 35.

This surpasses the previous record of 34 goals set by Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 2018-19 season, although Hamdallah’s record was achieved in four fewer matches.

Since joining Al-Nassr on a free transfer in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United, the 39-year-old Portugal forward has scored 64 goals in 69 games across all competitions.

Despite Ronaldo’s impressive performance, Al-Nassr finished second in the league for the second consecutive season, trailing champions Al-Hilal by 14 points but finishing 17 points ahead of third-placed Al-Ahli.

Throughout his illustrious 22-year career, Ronaldo has scored 765 goals for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.

Additionally, he holds the record for the most international goals, with 128 goals from 206 appearances for Portugal.
