Cristiano Ronaldo broke yet another goal scoring record as he set a new high for goals in a Saudi Pro League season.
Ronaldo, 39, swapped his career in Europe for the riches of Saudi Arabia in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United following a scathing interview on manager Erik ten Hag.
Proving he’s still got his goalscoring touch, Ronaldo bagged a brace in Al-Nassr’s 4-2 win against Al-Ittihad on Monday (May 27) to take his tally to 35 league goals for the season, eclipsing Abderrazak Hamdallah who scored 34 times in the 2018/19 season in four games fewer – also for Al-Nassr.
Following the game, Ronaldo uploaded a poster made to mark his goals record on Twitter, captioning the post: “I don’t follow the records, the records follow me.”
The Portuguese legend also broke a second record last night, as he became the first-ever player to be top scorer in four different leagues – the Premier League with United, La Liga at Real Madrid and in Serie A with Juventus.
