The legendary Portuguese star leads Al-Nassr towards the championship.
Ronaldo is confidently closing in on the 1,000-goal mark. Today, in the 34th round of the Saudi Pro League, 41-year-old Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo netted an incredible free-kick goal, marking the 972nd goal of his illustrious career.
This goal was especially crucial given that, at the time, the score was a precarious 2-1 in favor of Al-Nassr—who can’t afford any mistakes in the heated title race. Despite Al-Hilal also securing a win in their parallel fixture, it’s Ronaldo’s team that is now just one step away from clinching the championship title.
This season, Ronaldo has played 37 matches for the Saudi giants, scoring 29 goals and providing 5 assists.
Today, Cristiano Ronaldo has another shot at lifting a trophy. What needs to happen?
