Cristiano Ronaldo has become Al-Nassr’s all-time leading scorer in the Saudi Pro League after surpassing the club’s previous goalscoring record.
The Portuguese superstar reached the historic milestone after finding the net in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 victory over Al-Taawoun on Friday.
Ronaldo’s latest strike took his Saudi Pro League tally for Al-Nassr to 104 goals, moving him ahead of former record holder Mohammed Al-Sahlawi, who scored 103 league goals for the club.
The Al-Nassr captain achieved the feat in just 110 league appearances, further cementing his place among the club’s most prolific players.
Reacting after the match, Ronaldo described the achievement as a special moment but was quick to acknowledge the contribution of his teammates.

“At the same time, I am also really happy for the fans, who have supported me from beginning to end, and I am incredibly proud of that.”
The new record adds another remarkable chapter to Ronaldo’s illustrious career as he continues to make a significant impact in Saudi Arabian football.
