Al Nassr Vs Al Ittihad: Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo adds yet another feather to his cap of records, as the Portuguese forward breaks the record for most goals in a single season of Saudi Pro League. The 39-year old never seems to age and continues to be like a fine wine by maintaining his impressive goalscoring record in Saudi Arabia. The forward ended the league season with 35 goals, and surpasses current Al Ittihad and former Al Nassr forward — Abderrazak Hamdallah for the record, who had scored 34 goals back in 2018/19 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr back in January 2023, as his contract was terminated by Manchester United following a public dispute and outburst between the parties, with the former publicly criticising the owners, players, managers, and staff in a blockbuster interview with Piers Morgan few weeks beofre the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar.

However, his first full season in Riyadh has been a splendid one, as the currently active all-time leading goalscorer in football history is breaching majority of the goalscoring records and the Portuguese continues to do justice to his reputation of an excellent poacher inside the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo's 2023/24 Season In Numbers

Cristiano Ronaldo's first full season with Al Nassr though produced highly infamous red cards and suspension, but it was a record-breaking season as well, with the Portuguese forward poaching in 50 goals and 13 assists in 50 appearances, averaging a goal every match. The 39-year old scored four hat-tricks throughout the season to take his tally to 66 career hat-tricks.

Cristiano Ronaldo's only disappointment though would be the failure to win the league title, as the Al Nassr forward now stretches his league drought to 4 years.
