Ronaldo surpassed Messi after scoring to help Al Nassr win the Saudi Pro League.

Cristiano Ronaldo has just “fired” for Al Nassr in 2024 after scoring a few days ago. This time against Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League, the Portuguese superstar opened the scoring with an extremely quick one-touch finish in the 17th minute. CR7 surprised the opposing goalkeeper by choosing a close angle and the ball went wide. So tight that even though he was close, Al Fateh’s goalkeeper couldn’t stop it.

Ronaldo scored for the 21st time for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League 2023/24

This is the Portuguese superstar’s 21st goal for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League 2023/24 after only 19 matches. With a performance of 1.1 goals/match, Ronaldo is 4 goals ahead of second place Mitrovic of Al Hilal. This victory also helps Al Nassr narrow the gap with Al Hilal to 4 points.

This goal also helped Ronaldo extend his consecutive scoring streak for Al Nassr to 6 (counting only official matches) with a total of 7 goals. This is the Portuguese superstar’s longest scoring streak for Al Nassr since joining this team in 2023.

Ronaldo officially surpassed Messi with 715 goals excluding penalties

According to Talk Sports, this is the 715th goal of the Portuguese superstar’s career for the club and national team (not counting penalties) and officially surpasses his great rival Lionel Messi. The Argentine superstar has only scored 714 goals in this category.

In addition, Ronaldo has reached 875 goals in his professional career. This will be a record that is unlikely to be broken in the near future and moreover, this number can still increase. Most fans believe that Ronaldo will soon reach the 900 goal mark when this season ends.

Al Nassr has 14 matches remaining in the Saudi Pro League and at most 6 matches in the AFC Champions League. With his current scoring form, 25 goals/20 matches for the Portuguese superstar is not unthinkable.
