With his latest incredible performance against Al Akhdoud at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, Cristiano Ronaldo has soared to heights never seen in the history of football.

With an astounding 527 league goals in his career, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has reached the unprecedented milestone of becoming the all-time top scorer in first-division goals. In addition to this accomplishment, the 38-year-old maestro scored an incredible 61 goals in 2023.

Ronaldo’s crucial brace in the 77th and 80th minutes of the Saudi Pro League match gave Al Nassr a commanding 3-0 victory. Sami Al-Najei of Al Nassr scored the game’s first goal in the thirteenth minute, setting the stage for Ronaldo’s later heroics.

With a strong right-footed shot from the right side of the box, the Portuguese great showed off his enduring talent by escaping the opponent’s goalkeeper and finding the bottom corner. His second goal, a right-footed effort from outside the 40-yard box, was a masterclass in precision and completed the 3-0 victory. Beyond this one game, Ronaldo is significant because he made history when he joined Al Nassr in January 2023. He has already participated in 42 games for the Saudi team, tallying an amazing 36 goals.

Ronaldo has played in 13 Saudi Pro League games so far this season, scoring 15 goals and dishing out seven assists. Ronaldo’s status as one of the best football players in the world endures despite the problems surrounding his return to Manchester United in 2021, which resulted in the termination of his contract following public conflicts with coach Erik Ten Hag. His latest successes in the Saudi Pro League add to his legendary status by demonstrating not just his skill at scoring goals but also his capacity to set records time and time again. The 38-year-old’s influence on the field goes beyond his own accomplishments, securing his place in football history.
