On Thursday evening, Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved his status as a living legend by scoring his first goal of 2025 with Al-Nassr in a 3-1 win over Al-Ohoud in the Saudi Pro League.
This penalty goal in the 42nd minute is not only another achievement in his legendary career, but also a historic milestone: 24 consecutive years of goals at professional level, since his debut at Sporting Portugal in 2002.
Ronaldo, a model of longevity
With this performance, Ronaldo continues to make history. His professional debut was marked by a double in October 2002 against Moreirense. Today, he peaks at 917 career goals, getting closer to the symbolic goal of 1,000 goals. This goal also marks his 60th in 60 Saudi Pro League matches, a statistic which testifies to his constant efficiency despite his 38 years.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner remains ambitious: “ If I reach 1,000 goals, that will be great, but if I don’t, I will already be the player with the most goals in history. »
