- Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved another impressive milestone following his goal in Al-Nassr's victory over Al-Okhdood in the Saudi Pro League.
- The experienced Portuguese player has been performing exceptionally well since joining Al-Nassr two years ago, however, he has yet to claim a top-level trophy.
- The 39-year-old champion secured the 2023/24 SPL Golden Boot with 35 goals and is poised to successfully defend his title this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of 2025 as Al-Nassr convincingly defeated Al-Okhdood 3-1 in the Saudi Pro League match.
Ronaldo scored a first-half goal, which was sandwiched between Sadio Mane's second goal of the night, helping his team recover from their recent loss against Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Ittihad.
The player successfully reached another unprecedented target in the sport.
Ronaldo hits another milestone
Ronaldo concluded the year by winning the Best Middle East Player award from the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, which were held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The 39-year-old achieved a record-breaking performance in the 2023/24 season with Al-Nassr. He won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot award with 35 goals, surpassing Abderrazak Hamdallah's previous record of 34. Additionally, he scored 43 goals in 2024, highlighting his exceptional goal-scoring ability.
This season, he has netted 11 goals in 13 matches, with Aleksandar Mitrovic ranking one goal ahead of him with 12 goals scored.
He scored a goal against Al-Okhdood, prolonging his consecutive year streak to 24. His first senior goal came in October 2002, as he scored two goals against Moreirense in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, reported by ESPN.
He has achieved a goal in each single year since then, a reflection of his exceptional skill and enduring career. He has now scored 917 goals and will be aiming to reach 1000 this season.
The legendary retired Manchester United player holds the record for the most international goals scored with a total of 135. It remains uncertain whether he will participate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

Despite enjoying a tremendous individual performance at the club, Ronaldo has won only one title, the Arab Club Champions Cup of 2023 so far.
Al-Nassr struggled to achieve their goals in the league, suffering setbacks in matches against Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal. Presently, they occupy a third-place position in the standings, trailing leaders Al-Ittihad by eight points.
The person confessed that it is very challenging to win the Scottish Premiership, but expressed how eagerly he desires to win the Champions League.
"It's difficult to match opponents like Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, but we are still competing, still striving and struggling," Ronaldo said as per ESPN.
The AFC Champions League is a trophy I'm eager to win for the team, however, the most crucial aspect is to continuously strive and maintain a professional approach.
Ronaldo recently observed his two-year milestone with Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo ordered to remain silent
It was previously reported that former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit advised Cristiano Ronaldo to "stay quiet" following the Al-Nassr star's criticism of the French Ligue 1.
At the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo controversially stated that the Saudi Pro League surpasses Ligue 1.
