Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Scoring Record in Saudi ArabiaCristiano Ronaldo Breaks Scoring Record in Saudi Arabia Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has shattered yet another record, this time in the Saudi Pro League. During Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al Fateh on February 9, 2023, Ronaldo scored a stunning free-kick in the 94th minute. This goal marked his eighth in five league matches for his new club. With this strike, Ronaldo has now scored 820 official career goals for club and country, surpassing the previous record held by Czech-Austrian striker Josef Bican. Bican, who played from the 1930s to the 1950s, was previously credited with 805 goals. However, recent research has attributed an additional 15 goals to his tally, bringing his total to 820. Ronaldo’s free-kick was a moment of brilliance, demonstrating his exceptional skill and precision. The ball curled over the wall and nestled into the bottom corner of the net, giving Al Fateh goalkeeper Jacob Rinne no chance. The goal sparked wild celebrations among Ronaldo’s teammates and fans. It was a historic moment not only for Ronaldo but also for Saudi Arabian football. Ronaldo’s record-breaking achievement is a testament to his longevity, consistency, and unwavering determination. At 38 years old, he remains one of the most prolific goalscorers in the world. The Portuguese star joined Al Nassr in a lucrative deal in January 2023, making him one of the highest-paid footballers in history. His move to Saudi Arabia raised some eyebrows, but he has since proven that he remains a formidable force on the pitch.
