Indestructible, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to score goals. During Al Nassr’s away match at Al-Raed this Friday, the Madrid legend netted his 921st career goal and provided a fantastic assist.
Only 79 goals to go, and he will have reached the record of 1,000 official career goals—a feat never achieved since the rise of modern football. Having left Real Madrid with 450 goals (in 438 matches), Cristiano Ronaldo continues to score. Approaching 40 years old (on February 5), the Portuguese striker is stacking up goals at Al Nassr, which he joined in 2023. This Friday, the Madrid legend showcased his class and know-how in front of goal during the 18th matchday of the Saudi Pro League against Al-Raed.
Cristiano’s flawless evening at Al-Raed
From a beautifully struck free-kick by Marcelo Brozovic (35th minute), CR7 pounced at the penalty spot and powered the ball into the net, opening the scoring for his team (38 points), which is in a battle with Al-Hilal, Neymar’s former club, and Al-Ittihad of Karim Benzema, who sit at the top of the table with 43 points each. As the winter transfer window nears its end, with the possible arrivals of Victor Boniface (Leverkusen) and Jhon Durán (Aston Villa), Ronaldo is single-handedly carrying Al Nassr’s team.
As if to show he’s not just a goal scorer, Cristiano also provided a brilliant assist to his teammate Nawaf Boushal just after the break (47th minute). This marks his 100th assist to 100 different players throughout his career. For a player often labelled as selfish, only concerned with his own stats, this is an impressive record that’s likely to grow in the coming months, as he’s far from ready to hang up his boots.
It’s worth noting that this Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo will reveal some big secrets about his departure from Real Madrid in an exclusive interview with Edu Aguirre, a Spanish journalist who works on the programme El Chiringuito TV.
