Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Another Record in Saudi Pro League

Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo extended his superb performances with two goals and a leading performance to win 3-1 over Al Khaleej in Tuesday’s Saudi Pro League. Against all ageing odds, the Portuguese superstar kept his scoring going and broke another record taken by his long-time competitor, Lionel Messi.

This leaves Ronaldo alone having scored over 100 combined goals and assists with Al Nassr in just 92 appearances for the Saudi outfit. Indeed, he remains the player to do it with each side he played with where his number of games exceeded 70. Even his arch-nemesis, Lionel Messi, was able to pull this feat only once with FC Barcelona only.

Additionally, Ronaldo extended his streak of scoring goals for 24 consecutive years and added to his career tally of 919 senior goals. His performance not only guided Al Nassr to a 3-1 victory but also reinforced his reputation as a record-breaking icon in football.
