Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines as he concluded his first full Saudi Pro League season with an extraordinary feat. The 39-year-old Portuguese player scored a total of 35 goals in the league, breaking the previous record of 34 goals set by Abderrazak Hamdallah in 2018-19.
In a thrilling final matchday showdown against Al Ittihad, Ronaldo showcased his skill and determination by scoring a brace. His goals not only secured a 4-2 victory for his team but also solidified his position as the top scorer in the league this season.
Despite Ronaldo’s outstanding performance, Al Nassr’s overall season was marred by disappointment. The team, which boasted other international stars like Sadio Mane and Marcelo Brozovic, fell short in both the Saudi Cup and Asian Champions League. They finished as runners-up in the league, trailing behind Al Hilal.
Al Hilal’s exceptional performance throughout the season was highlighted by a 34-game winning streak in all competitions, setting a new world record for a top-tier team. Even without Neymar, who suffered a season-ending injury, the team maintained their dominance and clinched the title under the guidance of coach Jorge Jesus.
As Ronaldo bid farewell to the season with memorable performances, including four hat tricks and one red card, his impact on Al Nassr and the Saudi Pro League will be remembered for years to come. Despite the team’s shortcomings, Ronaldo’s individual accolades and record-breaking achievements have solidified his legacy in the league.
Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable season in the Saudi Pro League has been one for the record books. His goal-scoring prowess, coupled with the team’s overall performance, has left a lasting impression on fans and athletes alike. As Ronaldo continues to make history in the league, his journey with Al Nassr serves as a testament to his enduring talent and determination on the field.
