Cristiano Ronaldo marked his remarkable 850th career goal with a celebration as Al Nassr’s victory (On Saturday), secured a commanding 5-1 victory over Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo’s exceptional form continued, as he netted his sixth goal in the past three matches and contributed two assists, playing a pivotal role in Al Nassr’s third consecutive league triumph. Notably, Sadio Mane also found the back of the net during the match.
The 38-year-old Ronaldo took to social media to express his satisfaction with the team’s performance, stating, “Another outstanding team effort! We’re making constant progress. Let’s go @AlNassrFC… 850 career goals and the tally keeps rising!”
Al Nassr’s resurgence is particularly impressive, given their initial struggles with two losses at the start of the season. With 14 goals scored in their last three matches, the team that finished as runners-up in the previous season is now just four points behind league leaders Al-Hilal.
Cristiano Ronaldo currently leads the league’s scoring charts for the season with six goals, holding a one-goal advantage over former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane.
