Ronaldo continues to make history: with today's brace he reaches 919 career goals

Milan, 21 January 2025 – On the day in which Djokovic defeats alcaraz and reaches the semifinals of a Slam for the fiftieth time in his career, demonstrating that for him age is just a number, there is also another gentleman who does not seem to consider the number written on his identity card. This is none other than Christian Ronaldo, who, at almost 40 years of age, continues to score flurries of goals. Today, in fact, the match was played Al Khaleej – Al Nassr, and if the latter brought home the three points it is above all thanks to CR7, who scored a decisive brace for the final 3-1. With these two goals (scored in the 65th and 98th minutes), Cristiano Ronaldo reached 919 goals in his career, 81 goals shy of quadruple figures. After having left his mark in Europe with 701 goals (5 with the Sporting Lisbon, 145 with the Manchester United, 450 with the Real Madrid and 101 with the Juventus) and in the national team, with 135 goals, the Portuguese also wanted to conquer Arabia, where, with Al-Nassr, he already has 83 goals in 92 games. But that's not all: if you also count the assists scored so far, CR7's direct contributions to goals become 100 in just 92 games. The three points won today by Al-Nassr are fundamental for the standings of the Saudi Pro League, given that, following this victory, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates return to third place in the standings and close the gap onAl-Ittihad, albeit temporarily. The team of Benzema is now in second place, eight points ahead of Al-Nassr and three behindAl-Hilal. Benzema and his teammates will take to the field tomorrow at 18pm against'Al Shabab, in an attempt to return to the top together with Al-Hilal (who today won 4-1 against'Al-Wahda) and to bring the gap with Al-Nassr back to 11 points. Ronaldo and his team's third place could also last only one night: tomorrow at 15pm theAl-Qadisiya (fourth with 31 points) will face theAl-Orobah away, with the aim of regaining third place at the expense of the team Pioli. In any case, Ronaldo has clocked in today too, and he has absolutely no intention of stopping: the Portuguese champion is preparing to sign the renewal of his contract with Al-Nassr, which will tie him to the Arab team until 2026. CR7 has his sights set on 1000 goals, but not only that: Cristiano wants to show that his time is not over yet.
