Cristiano Ronaldo: In a dominating performance, Cristiano Ronaldo notched all four goals in Al Nassr’s victory over Al Wehda in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday, reaching an impressive milestone of 500 league goals in his storied club career. With 503 goals now to his name, the 38-year-old striker has amassed this total across five different leagues playing for five different teams.
Cristiano Ronaldo club-wise records
Starting at his first club, Sporting of Lisbon, where he scored three goals, he went on to score 103 goals during his two stints at Manchester United, a club record 311 goals for Real Madrid, and 81 goals for Juventus. His move to Al Nassr in December, following the termination of his contract at United, has now added an additional five goals to his impressive tally.
In the 21st minute of Thursday’s match, Ronaldo achieved his 500th league goal with a precise left-footed strike. He added to Al Nassr’s lead just before halftime with a goal from his right foot, before scoring a hat-trick from the penalty spot just eight minutes into the second half, bringing his career total of hat-tricks to an impressive 61. He capped off his impressive performance with another goal just after the hour mark, when he was first to a rebound.
Cristiano Ronaldo shares new social media post
In his first match with Al Nassr last Friday, Ronaldo opened his account with a stoppage-time penalty in a 2-2 away draw against Al Fateh. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who holds the all-time records for goals in the Champions League and international play, signed a lucrative two-and-a-half-year contract with the Riyadh-based club worth up to $200 million per year.
Thursday’s victory sees Al Nassr move to the top of the Saudi Pro League standings with 37 points, ahead of Al Shabab, who are on goal difference but have played one game less.
