Ronaldo surpasses Al-Hilal legends... Find out the details!
Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr, continued to cement his place in Saudi football history, adding two more goals to his tally in the league during his team's last match. This brought his total to 82 goals since joining the club, propelling him to fifth place on the all-time top scorers list for the Saudi Professional League. With this achievement, Ronaldo surpassed former Al-Hilal players Salem Al-Dawsari and Bafétimbi Gomis, whose combined total stands at 81 goals. The Portuguese star became the first foreign player in the league's modern history to reach this milestone in less than two seasons. According to official statistics, Syrian Omar Al-Somah leads the all-time Saudi League scoring charts with 155 goals, followed by Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah with 150, Nasser Al-Shamrani with 126, and Mohammed Al-Sahlawi with 105, before Ronaldo's 82. The Portuguese star is just 23 goals away from equaling Al-Sahlawi's record and entering the top four on the all-time top scorers list. Ronaldo continues his exceptional scoring form at a high rate, making him a strong contender to surpass this number this season, especially given his excellent physical condition and renewed passion for breaking records. Since joining Al-Nassr in early 2023, Ronaldo has set an example of discipline and professionalism both on and off the pitch. He scored his 82 goals in less than two years, confirming his ability to influence the game regardless of his age. At 39, he remains one of the top scorers in major leagues worldwide. "CR7" currently leads the scoring charts this season, directly contributing to Al-Nassr's continued title challenge, amidst widespread fan hopes that their captain will lead the team to its first league title since joining the club.
