Cristiano Ronaldo Keeps Making History with his Goals
At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo proves that age is no obstacle to continue shining in football. With a brace in Al Nassr's 1-3 win against Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League, the Portuguese star reached 919 goals in his professional career, consolidating himself as the all-time top scorer in football history. The forward continues to expand a record that seems unreachable and reaffirms his goal of reaching 1,000 goals before hanging up his boots.
The match wasn't easy for Al Nassr, despite the opponent's red card in the first half. After several attempts, Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 65th minute with a powerful shot from outside the box, assisted by his compatriot Otavio. Although Al Khaleej equalized in the 80th minute from the penalty spot, Al Nassr, coached by Stefano Pioli, responded quickly. A goal by Al Ghannam regained the lead, and Cristiano sealed the win in added time with his specialty: penalties.
The brace not only ensures his position as the league's top scorer with 13 goals, surpassing figures like Mitrovic and Benzema, but it also keeps Al Nassr in the title race, although eight points behind the leaders. Ronaldo, for his part, continues to expand his legacy with exceptional performances in his second season in Saudi Arabia, accumulating 83 goals and 18 assists in 92 matches with the club.
In addition to his league numbers, the Portuguese continues to leave his eternal rival Lionel Messi behind in the all-time top scorers' table, with a current lead of 69 goals. While Messi has 850 official goals, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down, proving that his ambition to be the best has no limits. His commitment and determination keep him as an example for new generations and a constant threat to his rivals.
The path to 1,000 goals seems more and more achievable for Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who has redefined what it means to be a sports legend. Despite challenges and pressure, his ability to score decisive goals remains intact, turning every match into a new chapter of his extraordinary career.
