Ronaldo’s Record-Breaking Night: Al Nassr’s New All-Time Foreign Scorer Shines in Saudi Battle
21 January 2026
Ronaldo turns Saudi Pro League night into history
The Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al Nassr, lit up the stadium as he added another strike against Damac in the 17th round of the Saudi Pro League.
He found the net for the second time in the 50th minute of the second half, curling the ball into a near-impossible corner to reaffirm his exceptional form.
Since arriving in January 2023, Ronaldo has tallied 116 goals for Al Nassr across all competitions, making him the club's all-time foreign scorer and surpassing Abdul Razak Hamdallah, who had stood at 115.
The Portuguese ace had been level with Hamdallah at 115, then broke the tie to claim the historic crown. With 16 goals this season, he sits atop the league scorer chart, two ahead of Ivan Toney of Al Ahli. He is 40 goals away from the 1,000-goal milestone in his storied career.
The match reinforced Ronaldo’s status as a global magnet for football fans, delivering a night of praise and a few more records for the poster of the modern game.
Punchline 1: Even the trophy cabinet wants his autograph.
Punchline 2: If goals were a sniper's targets, Ronaldo would have a wall full of done deals.
