Cristiano Ronaldo has set a new record for goals scored in a single Saudi Pro League season, reaching a tally of 35 goals after scoring a double for Al-Nassr in a match against Al-Ittihad. This surpasses the previous record of 34 goals set by Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 2018-19 season, despite Ronaldo achieving this feat in four fewer matches than Hamdallah.
Throughout his illustrious 22-year career playing for clubs such as Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, Ronaldo has accumulated an impressive total of 765 goals. This is not his only notable achievement; he also holds the record for most international goals with 128 scored in 206 appearances for the Portugal national team.
Since joining Al-Nassr on a free transfer in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United, Ronaldo has scored a total of 64 goals in 69 games across all competitions. The victory against Al-Ittihad helped Al-Nassr secure a second-place finish in the league standings, trailing behind champions Al-Hilal by 14 points and finishing 17 points ahead of third-placed Al-Ahli.
