Ronaldo’s 2025 Finale Shocks the World: 13 Goals, No Hat-Trick Please
Ronaldo ends 2025 with 13 goals, but no hat-trick this year.

Ronaldo closes 2025 with a shocking stat

The Portuguese legend, Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al Nassr, bids farewell to 2025 with a shocking number, despite the 2-2 draw with Al Ettifaq in the 12th round of the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday night.

Ronaldo scored the second goal, lifting his tally to 13 goals at the top of the league's scoring chart, tied with his compatriot and teammate Joao Felix.

Across 2025, Ronaldo failed to register a single hat-trick in official matches, ending a historic 14-year streak of hat-tricks.

A video highlight placeholder sits beneath the match notes.

From 2010 to 2014, the Portuguese star did not miss a hat-trick on at least one occasion, but 2025 saw a rare failure to repeat his habit.

Ronaldo remains the all-time hat-trick leader with 66, ahead of Lionel Messi by six triples. Punchline 1: If patience were a stat, Ronaldo would have a golden boot too. Punchline 2: Maybe next year he’ll finally figure out where the hat-trick lives.
