Cristiano Ronaldo Continues to Make History, Nearing 1,000 Career Goals

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history in football, approaching the milestone of 1,000 goals in his career. With two goals against Al Hazen, he reached 964 goals, just 36 away from his target. The 41-year-old Portuguese striker has scored over 500 goals after turning 30, proving that age is not a barrier to his performance. Despite his excellent form, Ronaldo failed to overtake English striker Ivan Toney in the Saudi League scoring charts, who leads with 23 goals, three more than the Portuguese. Ronaldo's absence from two matches due to a dispute with the Saudi League regarding the transfer policy of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) affected his efforts. Ronaldo returned to action with a goal against Al Fateh, after resolving his differences. Al Nassr is at the top of the league table, while Ronaldo continues to chase the historic record of 1,000 goals, confirming his value as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
