Ronaldo, this is unheard of!

Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record this Monday evening, during the last day of the Saudi Pro League.

At the age of 39, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to write his legend. This Monday evening, on the last day of the Saudi Pro League, the five-time Ballon d’Or struck again.

Author of a double, the Portuguese allowed his club Al-Nassr to end the season in style with a prolific success against Al-Ittihad (4-2) of the French N’Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema, absent for this last match.

Ronaldo makes Saudi championship history

Two more goals which allow CR7 to reach the mark of 35 goals in the league during this 2023-2024 financial year (in 31 matches played) and to become the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League this season… but also in history !

Indeed, Ronaldo erased from the shelves the Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah, who had scored 34 goals during the 2018-2019 season with Al-Nassr. It is therefore with this new record in his pocket that the Lusitanian international will now begin preparation for Euro 2024 with Portugal.
