After returning from the international break, Cristiano Ronaldo took no time to find the back of the net for Al Nassr. Just hours ago, the Portuguese superstar helped his side clinch an emphatic win against Al Akhdoud by scoring a brace. But what makes this double-goal feat a historic occasion is that the CR7 managed to clinch another major milestone. 

Additionally, with the win, Al Nassr continues to remain in second place in the Saudi Pro League table. They are now a point behind rivals Al Hilal, who will be playing their weekend match today. 

Cristiano Ronaldo features on yet another page of the history books

Even at 38, Cristiano Ronaldo can’t seem to catch a break from setting new milestones. This time, the occasion is with his domestic side, Al Nassr, who yesterday clinched a 3-0 victory against Al Akhdoud. An early goal from Sami Al Najei and a late second-half brace from Ronaldo, which included a world-class strike from over 40 yards, was enough for Al Nassr to clinch the important three points. 

Interestingly, after his impressive two-goal performance for Al Nassr last night, Cristiano Ronaldo has now netted a remarkable total of 527 career league goals, making him the top first-division scorer in the history of soccer. Additionally, his goal contributions in 2023 have reached an impressive tally of 61.
