Ronaldo scores again, nears 1,000 goals with Al Nassr record | OneFootball

Match by match, Cristiano Ronaldo seeks to surpass himself. Yes, despite the 36 titles he has won throughout his career, the countless goals he has scored, and the assists he has provided. But at 40 years old, he continues to demonstrate that he hasn't lost his edge.

The Al Nassr forward opened the scoring against Al Kholood Club, reaching 117 goals with the Saudi club's jersey. While he dreams of breaking the 1,000-goal barrier—he's 39 goals away—he has become the top foreign scorer for the club founded in October 1955.

Only two minutes had passed in the second half when the "Bicho" broke free and took advantage of a pass to the middle from João Félix, who left his compatriot with the goal at his mercy, allowing him to simply push the ball into the net.

While he continues to widen the gap with Lionel Messi, who remains at 896 goals and is still 63 goals away from the world record, the Madeira-born player also extended the lead over Abderrazak Hamdallah, who, with a total of 115 goals, was the top foreign scorer in the history of the Saudi institution. Yes, with the goal he scored against Damac on matchday 17 of the Saudi Pro League, he had already surpassed him, and now he begins to win the race for another record in his career.
