Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history by scoring his 950th career goal, helping Al Nassr secure a 2-0 victory over Al Hazm and maintain their winning streak in the Saudi Pro League.
At 40 years old, Ronaldo still demonstrates the class of an immortal legend. During the sixth round of the Saudi Pro League, he sealed the win for Al Nassr with a goal in the 88th minute. From Wesley’s precise cross, CR7 executed a one-touch right-footed finish, the ball bouncing into the net beyond the helpless home goalkeeper.
This goal not only secured three points for Al Nassr but also marked a historic milestone in world football: Ronaldo became the first player to reach 950 professional goals.
This extraordinary achievement was built across six teams: Sporting Lisbon (5 goals), Manchester United (145), Real Madrid (450), Juventus (101), Al Nassr (106), and the Portugal national team (143). He is also the only player to have scored over 100 goals for at least five different clubs – a record nearly impossible to break.
Before the historic goal, Ronaldo was active throughout the match, constantly linking up with Kingsley Coman and Sadio Mane to create chances. Despite some missed opportunities, he showed tactical awareness and intelligent movement, keeping the Al Hazm defense on high alert. Ultimately, his persistence paid off when CR7 made his mark with a late goal, concluding a perfect game for both the team and himself.
With this strike, Ronaldo scored his first goal since turning 40 and is now aiming for the “1,000-goal” milestone – a target well within reach if he maintains his current scoring rate over the next two years. This season alone, he has netted six goals, helping Al Nassr win all six matches and stay top of the Saudi Pro League, three points ahead of second-placed Al Taawoun.
The victory over Al Hazm not only reinforces Al Nassr’s dominance in Saudi Arabia but also highlights Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable legacy, symbolizing perseverance, professionalism, and an ageless hunger for victory. At 40, he continues to push forward, extending his legendary journey with the goal of reaching 1,000 goals – a feat never before witnessed in football history.
