Cristiano Ronaldo scores for 25th straight season as Al-Nassr beat Al-Riyadh 4-0 | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo capped Al-Nassr's 4-0 win over Al-Riyadh on Friday in the Saudi Pro League's second round, his strike confirming a 25th consecutive scoring season and moving him beyond Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 41-year-old, a five-time Ballon d'Or, needed only 20 minutes of the 2026-27 campaign to open his account. L'Équipe notes he has said this season is very likely to be his last.

The run began in 2002-03 with Sporting, and he now eclipses Ibrahimovic, who scored in 24 seasons from 1999 to 2022-23.

Ronaldo was Al-Nassr's final scorer in the 4-0, and the team have started with back-to-back league wins.

In January the Portugal captain also became a scorer in a 25th straight calendar year. This latest goal was his 977th, keeping him in pursuit of 1,000 career goals.
