Ronaldo’s two goals against Al Ittihad broke the record for most goals scored in a Saudi Pro League season. He now has the record for most goals scored in a season—35. This beats the previous best of 34 goals set in the 2018–19 campaign by Moroccan forward Abderrazak Hamdallah.

Not only did Ronaldo shatter a record in the season’s final game against Al-Ittihad, but it also served as evidence of his unwavering quest for greatness. Despite having a few attempts in the first half to call back due to offside, he never wavered in his resolve. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner finally struck the back of the net in the closing seconds of the first half to put Al-Nassr on the scoreboard.

Extremely proud to helped the team winning this important trophy for the 1st time!
