Ronaldo hits 104 goals, becomes Al-Nassr's all-time top scorer
Cristiano Ronaldo scored in Al-Nassr’s 2‑1 home win over Al-Taawoun on Friday, lifting his tally to 104 goals in the Saudi Pro League and overtaking Mohammed Al‑Sahlawi’s previous record of 103. The goal came in his 110th league appearance for the club, making him Al‑Nassr’s all‑time top scorer.
Ronaldo called the milestone a great achievement and thanked his teammates and fans. “I am very happy; this is a great achievement. But it’s not just my effort. I must express my heartfelt thanks to my teammates because, without them, none of this would be possible. At the same time, I am also really happy for the fans, who have supported me from beginning to end, and I am incredibly proud of that,” he said in the post‑match interview.
The record underscores Ronaldo’s continued impact since joining Al‑Nassr and highlights the growing competitiveness of the Saudi Pro League, which has attracted several global stars in recent years. For Nigerian fans who follow his career, the feat reinforces his reputation as one of football’s enduring greats.
What does Ronaldo’s sustained excellence mean for the future of African players eyeing opportunities in leagues outside Europe, and how might his presence further raise the profile of the Saudi league among global audiences?
