Cristiano Ronaldo has 40 goals in 47 appearances for Al Nassr since joining the Riyadh-based team in the Saudi Pro League.
Cristiano Ronaldo is widely recognized as one of the most prolific goalscorers in international football, and the Portuguese striker’s reputation has only grown since joining Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr FC.
In January of this year, the Portuguese footballer joined Al Nassr, becoming the world’s highest-paid athlete in the process.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal in Saudi Arabia in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) while playing for a squad comprised of Al Nassr FC and Al Hilal SFC players.
He made his Saudi Pro League debut for Al Nassr, defeating Al-Ettifaq 1-0. He scored his first goal for Al Nassr in a goalless tie with Al-Fateh before going on to score his first hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Al Wehad.
In a 3-0 win over Damac, the Portuguese star scored his second hat-trick for the club.
Ronaldo was named February’s Saudi Pro League Player of the Month after scoring eight goals and assisting twice.
The Portuguese international has 30 goals in 31 games for Al Nassr FC in the Saudi Pro League so far. In total, he has 40 goals in 47 games for the Riyadh-based team.
Two of these goals were enough to earn the team a trophy. In 2023, Al Nassr won its first Arab Club Champions Cup thanks to a brace from Ronaldo in the final against rivals Al Hilal.
