Ronaldo breaks all-time Saudi record for goals in single season

Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals against Al Ittihad on Monday, breaking the Saudi Pro League record for goals in a season.

Cristiano Ronaldo may be nearing the end of his career, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still setting new records.

The Al Nassr star scored two goals against Al Ittihad on Monday, his 34th and 35th of the season.

Ronaldo’s second goal, a towering header off a corner kick in the 69th minute, broke the all-time Saudi Pro League record for goals in a single season.

The 39-year-old reached the mark in just 31 league games, also tallying 11 league assists for Al Nassr in a standout campaign. Overall, Ronaldo has 50 goals in the 2023-24 season.

The record was previously held by Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 34 goals in the the 2018-19 season for Al Nassr as well.

Ronaldo set the record in Al Nassr’s final league game of the season, with the club guaranteed to finish second behind Al Hilal.

Al Nassr will have a chance to get some revenge on Friday when it faces Al Hilal in the King Cup final.
