After the match, the league officially recognized Ronaldo’s heroics, naming him both “Player of the Week” and “Goal of the Week.”
Ronaldo has scored 9 goals so far this RSL seaons, and a 9th of the RSL season keeps him one back from Felix in the race for a third successive top-scorer gong.

The 3-1 victory over Neom SC, which featured goals from Angelo Gabriel and Joao Felix alongside Ronaldo’s penalty, kept Al-Nassr atop the league standings with 24 points, reinforcing their title ambitions and Ronaldo’s critical role in their campaign.
Ronaldo Career Goals

But, the Portuguese legend has two more full seasons - including the 2026 FIFA Football World Cup, and hence 47 goal target is not unachievable, looking at the consistancy with which he is sending the ball past goalkeepers.

Ronaldo has scored 953 career goals in 1,295 games. With 953 goals, Ronaldo keeps the record of highest goal scorer to him.
Lionel Messi is next with 892 goals in 1,132 games.While Ronaldo is certain to play two full seasons and coming months, Messi has time to play three seasons.
Yet the way Ronaldo is playing, his fans have confidence that the dream target will be Ronaldo's during the 2026 FIFA world cup or may be Saudi Pro League current season.
