Cristiano Ronaldo Shatters Records in Saudi Pro League—But What Comes Next for the Al-Nassr Legend?

Five minutes into the second half, Joao Felix collected the ball just outside the penalty area and delivered a perfectly weighted assist. Ronaldo did the rest. With a single right-footed touch, he guided the ball past goalkeeper Kewin, doubling the lead and sealing the outcome. The goal marked Ronaldo’s 960th career total and 16th of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season, reinforcing his position as the league’s top scorer with an average of one goal per match.

The hidden milestone revealed

Only after the final whistle did the full scale of the achievement become clear. That strike was not just another addition to Ronaldo’s personal tally — it rewrote Al-Nassr’s internal history. Cristiano Ronaldo has now become Al-Nassr’s highest-scoring foreign player, reaching 116 goals for the club. The record previously belonged to Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 115 goals during a prolific spell between 2018 and 2021.

The Portuguese superstar, who arrived in Saudi Arabia in early 2023, now stands alone at the top of that list. In doing so, he joined an elite chapter of club history, sitting alongside domestic legends such as Majed Abdullah and Mohammad Al-Sahlawi in the broader all-time rankings.
