Cristiano Ronaldo nets 953rd goal in Al-Nassr win | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty goal in Al-Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Neom S.C, during the eighth round of the Saudi Pro League. In this way, the Portuguese star reached 953 goals in his career and is getting closer and closer to the goal of one thousand.

The victory of the leader of Saudi Arabia’s first division had a Portuguese accent. In addition to Cristiano’s goal, which was the second, Ángelo Gabriel opened the scoring and Joao Félix, CR7’s teammate in the national team, sealed the match.

At 40 years old, Cristiano is now 47 goals away from reaching four digits, a figure that no other player in the history of this sport has achieved.

With nine goals, Ronaldo is second in the top scorers’ table of the Saudi Pro League, only behind his teammate and compatriot Joao Félix, who has ten. Between the two, they have scored 19 of the 24 goals their team has in the first eight rounds of a season they started with a perfect record.

Cristiano, who has already spent more than two decades as a professional, continues to be decisive and maintains his incredible scoring average. Each match brings him a little closer to a number that could mark another milestone in his career and distances him from Lionel Messi, his main pursuer, who has 892.
