Ronaldo Hits 944 Goals as Al Nassr Cruise Past Al Riyadh
Cristiano Ronaldo just keeps rewriting the history books, and his latest strike has come in Al Nassr’s comfortable win over Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. The 40-year-old superstar found the net yet again, scoring his 944th career goal, as his team continued their flawless start to the 2025–26 season.
The match got off to a lightning start. Al Nassr needed only six minutes to take the lead when Kingsley Coman whipped in a clever low cross, and Joao Felix was perfectly placed inside the box to finish it off. Just minutes later, Coman doubled the advantage himself. A defensive slip from Al Riyadh gifted him the ball, and the French winger made no mistake as he coolly slotted it home.
With Al Nassr already two goals to the good and in total control, the stage was perfectly set for Cristiano Ronaldo. In the 33rd minute, Joao Felix once again provided the assist, sliding a beautiful ball into space. Ronaldo, who showed no signs of slowing down despite his age, timed his run to perfection, glided into the box, and finished with a composed right-footed touch. The crowd erupted, and another number was added to his already astonishing tally.

Across all competitions in 2025, Ronaldo has now scored 28 times — and that includes goals for both club and country. From leading Al Nassr to a Saudi Super Cup triumph to netting three for Portugal in World Cup qualifiers, his consistency has been remarkable.
The bigger picture here is history. With 944 career goals to his name, Ronaldo is closing in on an almost mythical milestone — 1,000 career goals. Only 56 more are needed, and the way he’s been finding the net this year, it doesn’t look like an impossible dream. For a player who celebrated his 40th birthday back in February, this is a feat that defies expectations and keeps fans around the world in awe.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr’s form under Jorge Jesus has been nothing short of dominant. They opened the league with wins over Al Taawoun and Al Kholood, then thrashed Istiklol 5–0 in their AFC Champions League Two debut midweek. This victory over Al Riyadh was their third straight league win, further cementing them as early title favorites.
For Al Riyadh, the night was a difficult one. Their struggles this season have been well-documented, and against a side brimming with quality and confidence, they simply couldn’t cope.
In the end, the headlines belonged to Ronaldo. At 40 years old, he’s still scoring, still leading, and still chasing records no one thought possible. The dream of hitting 1,000 career goals is alive — and nights like this remind everyone why Cristiano Ronaldo’s story is far from finished.
