Cristiano Ronaldo Shatters Records as He Blazes Past Historic Goal Milestone in Football History
Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved his 100th goal milestone with Al Nassr, securing another remarkable scoring achievement in his illustrious career.
The Portuguese superstar has become the first footballer ever to net 100 goals for four separate clubs. Ronaldo accomplished this feat during his initial period at Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and most recently Al Nassr.
The 40-year-old needed just 113 matches in the yellow jersey to reach his fourth club-level century milestone. Ronaldo scored his 100th Al Nassr goal via penalty kick during the Saudi Super Cup final, though this wasn't sufficient to secure victory for his squad.
Jorge Jesus's side lost 5–3 to Al Ahli in the penalty shootout, preventing Ronaldo from claiming his inaugural major title in Saudi Arabia. The five-time Ballon d'Or recipient has now suffered defeats in three straight finals since his Al Nassr arrival in December 2022.
While the match ended in disappointment, Ronaldo's personal achievement provides some comfort. No other footballer has demonstrated such consistent excellence in front of goal as the Real Madrid icon.
Review Ronaldo's impressive club-level scoring statistics below:
Club | Appearances | Goals |
|---|---|---|
Al Nassr | 113 | 100 |
Juventus | 134 | 101 |
Real Madrid | 438 | 451 |
Manchester United | 346 | 145 |
Ronaldo achieved his greatest triumphs at Real Madrid, where the Portugal skipper established himself as the club's record goalscorer. He assisted the Spanish powerhouse in capturing 16 titles during his eight-year tenure, including four Champions League crowns.
In addition to his club achievements, Ronaldo has netted 138 goals across 221 matches for Portugal's national squad. The striker has now reached the century milestone on five different occasions throughout his legendary journey.
Ronaldo is positioned to become the first player ever to reach 1,000 career goals. The forward has pledged his services to Al Nassr until 2027, providing him with the upcoming two seasons to pursue additional personal records. The Portugal star will also aim to finally guide his team to championship glory.
