Ronaldo celebrates another historic goal in Saudi Pro League action.

Ronaldo’s historic milestone in the Saudi Pro League

The Portuguese icon, captain of Al-Nassr, continued shaping history by scoring against Al-Hazem on Saturday night, in matchday 23 of the Saudi Pro League. The strike showcased his precision and longevity at the highest level.

He opened the scoring in the 13th minute after a magical pass from Kingsley Coman and finished with his left foot. The crowd roared as Ronaldo pressed forward, turning a potential counter into a moment of pure celebration.

That goal brought Ronaldo to 500 goals in his career after turning 30, continuing his historic professional journey.

Ronaldo's tally rose to 19 league goals, placing him third in the Saudi Pro League; Mexican Julian Quinones leads at 21.

At 41, Ronaldo reached 963 career goals, marching toward the coveted milestone.

Humor break: Ronaldo doesn't just score; he redefines what "age is just a number" means in football.

Sniper joke: Ronaldo doesn't shoot; he quietly relocates the goalposts.
