Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo has continued his own record-breaking hobby since reaching the ranks of Saudi al-nasr in 2022, clinching the title of top scorer in Saudi League history in just one edition with 35 goals.
The 39-year-old “Madeira rocket” had 33 goals up his sleeve before participating with Al-Nasr in the final meeting against the al-itthad in the Saudi League, leading the world to a big 4-2 win, taking his top scorer to 35 goals, and surpassing Morocco’s record-holder Abdelrazak Hamdallah in this side, who scored 34 goals in the 2018-2019 season.
The veteran Portuguese star appeared to be very happy with this record, although al-nasr failed to achieve the titles this season, only finishing the Saudi League in second place with 82 points, 14 behind the title-capped al-hilal.

We’re doing well. the next goal is to win the Copa del Rey “.
