Cristiano Ronaldo continues to shine with his club Al-Nassr, reaching the milestone of 100 goals in the Saudi Pro League. At 41 years old, the Portuguese forward continues to score goals.
Playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia since 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo proves with each outing that he did not join the Gulf kingdom to retire. At 41 years old, the Portuguese contributed to his team’s success on Thursday during the 33rd matchday of the Saudi Pro League against Al Shabab (2-4). Assisted by Sadio Mane, he secured his team’s lead fifteen minutes before the end of regulation time (1-3, 75th minute). Moreover, this goal holds great symbolic significance on an individual level.
Is this CR7’s first triumph in the Saudi Pro League?
In addition to scoring his 26th goal in 28 league matches, CR7 has now reached 100 goals in the Saudi Pro League. Eternal, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United striker has already surpassed his performance from last season when he scored 25 goals in 30 matches. With two matchdays remaining in the current season, Al-Nassr leads with a provisional five-point advantage over rivals Al-Hilal, where his friend Karim Benzema, Theo Hernandez, and Moroccan goalkeeper Bono play. Winner of the Arab Champions Cup in 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to lift the Saudi Pro League trophy.
Cristiano Ronaldo is in great form just over a month before Portugal’s entry into the 2026 World Cup. In Group K, the Selecao will face DR Congo and Uzbekistan on June 17 and 23 in Houston before taking on Colombia in Miami on June 28. Another Portuguese player who shone in this match was Joao Felix, who scored a hat-trick (3rd, 10th, 90th+8) in the Portuguese-flavored victory of Al-Nassr against Al Shabab. In Saudi Arabia since last summer, the former AC Milan striker has scored 20 goals in 31 matches in the Saudi league.
