Cristiano Ronaldo, the Al-Nassr forward, scored his 954th career goal in a Saudi Pro League match with a spectacular strike. The 40-year-old goalscorer finished a cross from Nawaf Al-Boushal with a stunning overhead kick. This happened in the 96th minute of the game against Al-Khaleej, which the hosts won convincingly with a score of 4-1. The Portuguese player holds the record for the most goals scored for the national team, in the European Championships, and the Champions League, and is the first to surpass the 900-goal mark in official matches. His accomplishments include five Champions League victories, triumph at Euro 2016, and two UEFA Nations League trophies. Furthermore, Ronaldo is the only player to have scored in five consecutive World Cups (from 2006 to 2022). The current qualifying cycle could be his seventh appearance in the final stage of the World Cup, provided Portugal qualifies. This season, he has scored 11 goals in 12 appearances across all competitions. The Portuguese player is contracted to the Saudi club until the summer of 2027, and his current market value is estimated at 12 million euros.
