Cristiano Ronaldo becomes first to hit 100x4 with the big 1,000 in sight

971 goals and counting for Cristiano Ronaldo. Al Nassr beat Al Shabab 4–2 in a game where João Félix delivered a hat trick and the No. 7 found the net twice, though one was ruled out for a clear offside.

The win marks a significant step toward the title after their recent defeat to Al Qadisiya, featuring Nacho and Julián Quiñones.

Al Nassr now holds a five-point lead over Al Hilal, led by Karim Benzema, although their rivals have a game in hand. The two sides will meet next Tuesday in what is likely to define the course of the Saudi league season. Ronaldo and his teammates are chasing their first title since the Portuguese star’s arrival and, in the scoring race, his 26 goals leave him trailing only Quiñones (29) and Ivan Toney (30).

How many games did it take Cristiano Ronaldo to reach 100 goals with Al Nassr?

With his strike against Al Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo not only contributed to the win but also reached 100 goals in an Al Nassr shirt. The milestone was achieved in just 105 games, along with 18 assists.

Cristiano’s 100 in 4 leagues

As if that were not enough, Ronaldo has become the first player to score 100 goals in four different leagues. He previously reached the mark with Manchester United in the Premier League, Real Madrid in LaLiga, Juventus in Serie A, and now Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

His total now stands at 971 goals, extending his record as the all-time leading scorer in soccer history, with the 1,000-goal mark firmly within reach.
