Cristiano Ronaldo Record at Saudi Pro League
Ronaldo has been the top goal scorer till the last week which was in news for Ronaldo's controversial strike against Al Nassr management and Saudi PIF. Following the protest, Ronaldo was off the field for three Al-Nassr group matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo missing the SPL top goal scorer's spot seems to be the direct fallout of his protest. Looking at the consistency with which the Portuguese star footballer is playing, he would have remained the Saudi Pro League top goal scorer, had he played the three matches he missed.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr yesterday to play against Al-Fateh which The Big Yellows won. In the Al-Fateh vs Al-Nassr SPL match Saturday, Ronaldo's scored his 18th and career's 962nd goal.
With 962 goals, 41-year-old Ronaldo is the highest goal scorer in international football, and is eying the 1,000 goal target.
Ronaldo's record at Al Nassr has also been very impressive, CR7 is playing for Al Nassr since 2022, and has scored and assisted more than 100 goals for the Saudi football club.
During his association with Al-Nassr, Ronaldo won season-end top goal scorer in 2024/25 with 25 goals and 2023/24 with 35 goals.
