In a sweltering night at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium in Mecca, Cristiano Ronaldo etched another chapter into his monumental career by scoring his 925th professional goal. The milestone came during Al-Nassr’s 2-0 win over Al-Wehda in a match from the 22nd round of the Saudi League. At 40 years old, Ronaldo once again demonstrated why he’s regarded as one of football’s all-time greats, rising high to head in a pinpoint cross from Ângelo Gabriel, formerly of Santos, to break the deadlock early in the second half. The goal not only handed his team the lead but also brought him 75 strikes closer to the historic 1,000-goal mark. Beyond his scoring prowess, Ronaldo showcased his leadership by stepping aside in stoppage time, allowing Sadio Mané to take a penalty and seal the victory with the second goal. The result lifted Al-Nassr back to third place in the standings, reigniting their hopes of a strong campaign this season.
Ronaldo now boasts 17 goals in the current Saudi League season, topping the scoring charts and maintaining the relentless pace that has defined his status as a living legend.
For Al-Wehda, the defeat was yet another blow in a disastrous campaign, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table with no wins in seven matches.
Al-Nassr regains momentum in title race
The away win arrived at a pivotal moment for Al-Nassr, who were reeling from a 3-2 loss to Al-Ettifaq in the previous round. With 47 points, the team now sits four points behind second-placed Al-Hilal and eight behind leaders Al-Ittihad, who are yet to play their match in this round.
Ronaldo edges closer to 1,000 goals
Turning 40 in early February, Cristiano Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down. With 925 career goals under his belt, he remains laser-focused on reaching the 1,000-goal milestone, a feat that would further cement his towering legacy in the sport.
A match that turned the tide
The clash between Al-Nassr and Al-Wehda started cautiously, with little to separate the sides in the first half. An early setback came when Al-Nassr’s Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte limped off injured after just 12 minutes, forcing coach Stefano Pioli to bring on Wesley Teixeira. The game sprang to life after the break, with Ângelo Gabriel, introduced at halftime in place of Nawaf Buwashal, delivering a perfect cross for Ronaldo to head home three minutes into the second period. The goal rattled Al-Wehda, who struggled to respond. In stoppage time, a foul on Ronaldo inside the box earned a penalty, which he graciously handed to Mané to convert, locking in the 2-0 scoreline at the 90+10 mark. The performance underscored Ronaldo’s knack for decisive interventions and his ability to inspire those around him.
Beyond Ronaldo’s brilliance, Al-Nassr leaned on standout contributions from others. Ângelo Gabriel, the 20-year-old Brazilian, proved his worth with a precise assist, while Mané, formerly of Liverpool, ended a nearly two-month goal drought with his late strike. This blend of veteran savvy and youthful energy is proving vital for the Saudi side.
Al-Wehda’s struggles deepen
On the flip side, Al-Wehda’s season continues to unravel. Having conceded 51 goals in 22 rounds—the worst defensive record in the Saudi League—the team hasn’t tasted victory since December. The loss to Al-Nassr piled further pressure on their fight to avoid relegation.
From Sporting to global stardom
Cristiano Ronaldo’s football journey began in the humble clubs of Madeira, but it was at Sporting, at age 17, where he first caught the world’s eye. In 2003, he joined Manchester United, scoring 118 goals and lifting his first Champions League title in 2008. His defining move came with Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, where he notched 450 goals in 438 appearances, won four Champions League crowns, and became the club’s all-time leading scorer. At Juventus, between 2018 and 2021, he added 101 goals before returning to Manchester United, where he tallied 27 more. Since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023, he’s racked up 71 goals, proving his appetite for scoring remains insatiable.
Ronaldo’s career is a tapestry of jaw-dropping stats. For Portugal, he’s netted 130 goals, making him the top scorer in international football history. Across his career, he’s scored 925 official goals, including 141 headers—one of his trademarks—and 570 with his favored right foot. He also reigns supreme in continental competition, with an unmatched 140 goals in the Champions League.
Turning points of the match
- Header breaks through: Ronaldo opened the scoring three minutes into the second half, capitalizing on Ângelo Gabriel’s cross.
- Penalty handover: In stoppage time, Ronaldo let Mané take the spot-kick to secure the 2-0 win.
- Laporte’s exit: The defender’s early injury tested Al-Nassr’s backline, which held firm.

A star who reshapes the game
Since arriving at Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has not only boosted the team’s performance but also redefined the Saudi League’s global profile. In his debut season, he scored 14 goals in 16 league games and led the club to the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup title. This season, he’s already at 17 goals in 22 rounds, outpacing the likes of Al-Ittihad’s Karim Benzema, who has 16.
Drawing the world’s attention
Ronaldo’s presence has turned the Saudi League into a global spectacle. Al-Nassr matches now attract millions of viewers worldwide, and his move has paved the way for stars like Neymar, Kanté, and Mitrovic to join the competition, elevating its status.
75 goals to go
With 925 goals to his name, Ronaldo is just 75 shy of the 1,000 mark—a target once thought unreachable when he left Europe. At his current scoring rate of nearly a goal per game with Al-Nassr, he could hit the milestone before his contract ends in 2026. Fueling his drive is a personal ambition: to share the pitch with his son, Cristiano Jr., who’s already training in Al-Nassr’s youth setup.
In the 2023/24 Saudi League season, Ronaldo fired in 20 goals across 18 matches. This term, he’s at 17 in 22 games, with seven assists to boot, proving his influence extends far beyond just putting the ball in the net.
A selfless act
Ronaldo’s decision to let Sadio Mané take the stoppage-time penalty against Al-Wehda was a masterstroke of leadership. The Senegalese star, goalless since January, regained his spark with the strike, and Ronaldo’s gesture underscored his role as a team player.
Rising stars in sync
His growing chemistry with Ângelo Gabriel, the 20-year-old Brazilian who joined Al-Nassr in 2024, also stood out. The former Santos winger’s pinpoint cross for Ronaldo’s goal highlighted a partnership that’s blossoming at just the right time.
Goals that echo through time
Among his 925 strikes, some stand eternal. The long-range rocket against Porto in 2009 for Manchester United earned him the Puskás Award. The bicycle kick against Juventus in 2018 for Real Madrid drew applause from the opposition crowd. And the towering header against Wales in the 2016 Euros propelled Portugal to the title.
Ronaldo holds the record as the Champions League’s top scorer with 140 goals and Real Madrid’s with 450. His 130 goals for Portugal outstrip any other player in international football, surpassing icons like Pelé and Messi in that category.
A father-son ambition
Former Romanian striker Adrian Mutu has shared that Ronaldo’s ultimate motivation is to play alongside Cristiano Jr. At 14, the teenager is honing his skills at Al-Nassr’s academy, potentially setting the stage for a future family moment on the pitch.
