Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Saudi Pro League Scoring Record

Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Saudi Pro League Scoring Record

Cristiano Ronaldo has etched his name into the history books of Saudi Arabian football by becoming the league's all-time top scorer in a single season. The Portuguese superstar capped off his first full campaign with Al Nassr in style, scoring a brace in their 4-2 victory over Al Ittihad on the final matchday.

Ronaldo's tally of 35 goals in the Saudi Pro League surpasses the previous record of 34 goals set by former Al Nassr forward Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 2018-19 season. The 39-year-old has been in scintillating form since joining the Saudi Arabian club in January 2023, scoring at an astonishing rate of over a goal per game.

Ronaldo's goalscoring exploits have played a pivotal role in Al Nassr's success this season. The club secured the Saudi Super Cup in January and are currently in contention for the league title, sitting just one point behind leaders Al Shabab with one game remaining.

The Portuguese forward's arrival in Saudi Arabia has not only boosted the league's profile but has also inspired a new generation of young players. Ronaldo's dedication, professionalism, and unwavering pursuit of excellence have set an example for aspiring footballers across the country.

Ronaldo's record-breaking season is a testament to his enduring quality and his ability to adapt to different leagues and challenges. Having previously played for Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, the Portuguese icon has now conquered another league, proving that he remains one of the greatest goalscorers of all time.
