On Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr achieved yet another remarkable milestone, solidifying his legacy as one of football’s greatest players by breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Saudi Pro League (SPL).
The 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his exceptional goal-scoring prowess once again, netting two goals against Al Ittihad to bring his tally for the season to an unprecedented 35 goals, surpassing Abderrazak Hamdallah’s previous record of 34 goals set during the 2018-19 season for Al Nassr.
In a display of humility mixed with confidence, the former Real Madrid star took to social media to share his achievement with fans, posting a collage of images from the SPL alongside the caption: “All-time top scorer in a single SPL season.” Ronaldo further emphasized his dominance with a bold statement: “I don’t follow the records, the records follow me,” followed by an emoji of Saudi Arabia’s flag.
Having signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al Nassr in January 2023, Ronaldo’s remarkable goal-scoring spree brings him closer to reaching a monumental milestone of 900 career goals, with just seven more needed. His illustrious career also boasts a staggering 128 international goals for Portugal, surpassing football legends like Pele and Lionel Messi.
As Al Nassr prepares to face Al Hilal in the King Cup final on Friday, Ronaldo’s exceptional form and leadership will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in their pursuit of victory, further cementing his status as a football icon on both the domestic and international stage.
Ronaldo’s relentless pursuit of excellence continues to inspire fans worldwide, showcasing not only his remarkable talent but also his unwavering determination to push the boundaries of the sport.
