Cristiano Ronaldo Surpasses Messi’s Record with Latest Al Nassr Goal
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history in his illustrious career, as he surpassed long-time rival Lionel Messi for non-penalty goals with his latest goal for Al Nassr. The 39-year-old striker found the back of the net in his side’s 2-1 win against Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo’s goal, which came in the 17th minute of the match, saw him finish low into the bottom corner from inside the box. This goal not only helped his team secure a crucial victory but also marked his 715th non-penalty goal in his career for both club and country. Messi, on the other hand, sits just one goal behind Ronaldo with 714 non-penalty goals to his name.
The Portuguese superstar has been in sensational form this season, scoring a total of 21 top-flight goals for Al Nassr. This impressive tally has helped his team close the gap on league leaders Al Hilal to just four points. Ronaldo’s scoring streak in the Saudi Pro League has now extended to five matches in a row, showcasing his consistency and ability to find the back of the net.
In addition to his club goals, Ronaldo has also scored 128 goals for Portugal, bringing his total career goals to a staggering 875. With every goal he scores, Ronaldo further solidifies his status as one of football’s greatest players and goal scorers.
While Ronaldo continues to shine in the Saudi Pro League, Messi is preparing to kickstart the new MLS season with Inter Miami next week. It remains to be seen if Messi can regain the lead in non-penalty goals, but the competition between these two legendary players is as fierce as ever.
Looking ahead, Ronaldo has his sights set on more success with Al Nassr. He recently won the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup and now aims to conquer the AFC Champions League and King’s Cup. The Saudi Pro League title is also within reach for Ronaldo and his team, although they face a tough challenge in chasing down Al Hilal.
As Ronaldo continues to showcase his class in the Middle East, it is clear that he will extend his goal tally even further. His determination, skill, and hunger for success make him a force to be reckoned with, and fans can expect many more impressive performances and goals from this football legend.
