Legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has set the record for scoring the most goals in a single season of the Saudi Pro League (SPL). He scored 2 goals while playing for Al Nassr in the Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad match last Monday, taking his tally of goals in the current season of the Saudi Pro League to 35. In this match, Al Nassr defeated Al Ittihad 4-2. Ronaldo has broken the record of Abdul Razzaq Hamdallah in the Saudi Pro League, who had set a record of scoring 34 goals in the 2018-2019 season.
39-year-old Ronaldo has achieved the feat of scoring the most goals (35) in a season while playing 31 matches in the current season of the SPL. The Portuguese football star has also become the first player in the world to score the most goals in a season while playing in four leagues in four countries of the world. Cristiano Ronaldo posted on Instagram after achieving this record and wrote in the caption, “I do not chase records, but records chase me.” The Al-Nassr vs Al-Ittihad match also became a topic of discussion because the fans were chanting Messi’s name in the field.
Ronaldo’s team missed the title
Cristiano Ronaldo’s team Al-Nassr finished second in the 2023-2024 SPL season. Al-Hilal won the title by scoring 96 points in the season, beating Al-Nassr. But despite being in second place, Al-Nassr has qualified for the AFC Champions League Elite. Remind that Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr’s team in 2023 and his team finished second last season as well. Last year Al-Ittihad captured the trophy.
