Scorer again, Friday, with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo sees far, very far…
Cristiano Ronaldo is smiling again. A week after the slap received against Al-Hilal (3-0) in the clash at the top of the championship, Al-Nassr took advantage of the visit of Al-Riyadh during the 16th day of the Saudi Pro League to reconnect with victory, winning 4-1 at the end of a match controlled from start to finish. And the Portuguese showed the way by opening the scoring shortly after the half-hour mark, hitting a cross from Sadio Mané at point blank range.
Thanks to this goal, the former Madrilenian consolidated his status as top scorer in the Saudi championship, his 16 goals allowing him to be two goals ahead of Aleksandar Mitrovic (14 goals) and three over Georges-Kévin Nkoudou (13 goals) . And the 38-year-old Portuguese does not intend to stop there. The one who is already the most prolific scorer in history thanks to his 867 career goals has in fact set a new XXL goal in mind: reaching 1000 career goals.
“ I have now been challenged to reach the 1000 goal mark. There is still a long way to go, it will be difficult. But if my legs and my physique treat me as well as I treat them. we’ll see “, he confided after the match, his 1200e in career, adding: “I no longer plan that far ahead. I don’t tell myself that I have to play until I’m 41 or 42, I just enjoy the moment.»
