Ronaldo Shatters Al-Nassr All-Time Scoring Record with 965th Career Goal
Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name deeper into football history on Wednesday, netting his 121st goal for Al-Nassr in a commanding 5-0 victory over Al-Najma in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old Portuguese superstar converted a penalty in the seventh minute, surpassing Moroccan legend Abderrazak Hamdallah’s previous club record of 120 goals — a tally Hamdallah accumulated over 258 appearances. Ronaldo reached the milestone in just 136 games, a testament to his extraordinary efficiency in front of goal.
965 Goals and Counting: The Road to 1,000
With this latest strike, Ronaldo’s career goal tally now stands at an astonishing 965, leaving him just 35 goals shy of the historic 1,000-goal milestone. Remarkably, exactly one year prior on February 25, 2025, Ronaldo had scored his 925th career goal against Al-Wehda — meaning he has netted 40 goals in just 365 days, a rate that would be extraordinary for any player half his age.
Al-Nassr Extend Winning Streak to Nine Games
Ronaldo’s opener set the tone for a dominant team performance. Inigo Martinez scored twice, while Sadio Mané and Kingsley Coman also found the net to complete the rout. The result extended Al-Nassr’s winning run to nine consecutive matches, keeping them firmly at the top of the Saudi Pro League table with 58 points from 23 games — two clear of second-placed Al-Ahli.
Ronaldo’s return to form following a brief boycott controversy has reinvigorated Al-Nassr’s title charge, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner scoring in three successive matches since rejoining the squad.
