At 40, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to challenge the limits of world football. Already the author of 99 goals with Al-Nassr, the Portuguese striker is getting closer to an unprecedented feat: becoming the first player in history to score 100 goals or more for four different clubs, a record that no one has ever achieved, reports
OneFootball.
So far, only a few big names have crossed the 100 goal mark with three clubs: Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona) and Neymar (Santos, FC Barcelona, PSG). But no one has yet managed to repeat this feat with four teams. Ronaldo has already scored 450 goals with Real Madrid, 118 with Manchester United, 101 with Juventus and is now only one goal short of a hundred with Al-Nassr.
He will have to wait
However, achieving this record will have to wait. Absent from Al-Nassr's trip to India to face FC Goa in the Asian Champions League, Ronaldo was spared by his coach Jorge Jesus. “Everyone loves Cristiano Ronaldo and he has fans everywhere. But we decided that he would rest when the team plays away to Saudi Arabia.”explained the Portuguese technician, specifying that this decision was only aimed at preserving his physical condition.
The Portuguese legend could therefore reach this symbolic bar in the next match against Al Hazm in the league. With already 949 official goals to his credit, each new achievement confirms his status as a global icon and proves that at 40 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo remains an inexhaustible record machine.
