VIDEO: Ronaldo scores 962nd goal for Al Nassr after strike | OneFootball

CR7 scored again after the strike and reached 962 goals in his TREMENDOUS sports career:

Cristiano Ronaldo took 18 minutes in his return after the strike to score against Al Fateh. This was his goal to give Al Nassr the lead.

CR7 made a grand return for Al Nassr. After ending his strike due to disagreements with the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the ‘Bicho’ scored the 1-0 against Al Fateh in matchday 22 of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. Great cross from Sadio Mané for the striker’s finish.

After deciding not to participate in the matches against Al Riyadh and Al Ittihad due to his strike, Cristiano had his first start against Al Fateh. A key moment in the season where Al Nassr is fighting for the title with Al Hilal, the current leader, and Al Ahli, who were in second place before this match began.

At the 18th minute of the match between Al Nassr and Al Fateh, Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of a great cross from Sadio Mané to finish at the penalty spot. It was the 1-0 for the team managed by Jorge Jesus, who are now in the title race and have the ‘Bicho’ back.

Why was Cristiano Ronaldo on strike at Al Nassr?

Cristiano Ronaldo missed the matches against Al Riyadh and Al Ittihad (both wins for Al Nassr) due to disagreements with the PIF, the Saudi Arabian public investment group that owns the club, as well as Al Hilal, Ittihad, and Al Ahli. His strike had a global impact and there were even rumors that he could leave the Gulf country.

Cristiano’s complaints against the PIF were related to unpaid salaries for club employees and the removal of powers from Portuguese executives José Semedo and Simão Coutinho. After resolving these issues, the ‘Bicho’ decided to return to playing for his team.

Although he could have returned in the AFC Champions League Two match against FK Arkadag in Turkmenistan, it was decided to rest him (and several other stars). Thus, his first official match back was against Al Fateh.
