Cristiano Ronaldo Sets New Record with 100 Goals Across Four Nations

Historic Achievement in Football

Cristiano Ronaldo made history once again on Saturday by becoming the first player to score over 100 goals in four different countries. The Portuguese superstar netted a penalty in the 41st minute during the Saudi Super Cup final, giving Al Nassr an early advantage against Al Ahli. Despite Ronaldo's efforts, Al Nassr ultimately fell short and lost the match.

Impressive Goal Statistics

Ronaldo's career has been marked by remarkable goal-scoring consistency. His tally includes: Real Madrid – 450 goals, Manchester United – 145 goals, Juventus – 101 goals, and Portugal – 138 goals. Before this match, he had already scored 99 goals for Al Nassr in 111 appearances, making his 100th goal in Saudi Arabia a significant milestone. Notably, Sporting CP remains the only club where he did not reach the 100-goal mark.

Contributions Beyond Goals

Ronaldo's impact extends beyond just scoring. In the semifinal, he provided a vital assist to João Félix, helping secure a victory against Al Ittihad, the reigning champions of the Saudi Pro League.

Historic Super Cup Final Venue

This final was also notable for being the first Saudi Super Cup final held outside the Middle East, taking place at Hong Kong Stadium, where thousands of enthusiastic fans created an electrifying atmosphere throughout the match.

Ronaldo's Move to Saudi Arabia

In 2023, Ronaldo joined Al Nassr following the conclusion of his second spell at Manchester United. At 40 years old, he continues to defy expectations, showcasing his ability to perform at the highest level.
