Ronaldo sets new Saudi Pro League scoring record

Cristiano Ronaldo said Cristiano Ronaldo said "I don’t follow
the records, the records follow me" after setting a new record for goals
scored in a Saudi Pro League season.
The Portugal forward, 39, scored twice in
Al-Nassr's 4-2 win against Al-Ittihad to reach 35.
That meant he overtook Abderrazak
Hamdallah's mark of 34 in 2018-19, though the Morocco striker's haul - also for
Al-Nassr - came from four fewer matches.
Ronaldo has scored 64 goals in 69 games for
Al-Nassr in all competitions since joining on a free transfer in January 2023
after leaving Manchester United.
The win meant Al-Nassr finished second in
the table for the second successive season, 14 points behind champions Al-Hilal
but 17 clear of third-placed Al-Ahli.
Ronaldo has now scored 765 goals in a
22-year career which has also included spells with Sporting Lisbon, Manchester
United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
He also holds the men's record for
international goals, with 128 from 206 appearances for Portugal.
