Cristiano Ronaldo, the 39-year-old Portuguese superstar playing for Al Nassr, has had an exceptional season in the Saudi Pro League. In a thrilling 4-2 victory over Al Ittihad on the final matchday, Ronaldo scored twice, bringing his season tally to an astounding 35 goals. This achievement breaks the previous record of 34 goals set by former Al Nassr forward and Moroccan international Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 2018-19 season.
Since joining Al Nassr in January 2023, Ronaldo has scored 64 goals in 69 games across all competitions, showcasing his consistent performance and incredible scoring ability.
Meanwhile, champions Al Hilal secured the league title with a remarkable 34-game winning streak in all competitions, marking a new world record for a Saudi top-tier team.
\"This season has been truly exceptional for the team, arguably our best ever,\" said coach Jorge Jesus. \"The credit goes to the immense talent within the squad and the incredible sense of unity that transcends both on and off-field interactions.\"
