Ronaldo Sets Historic Post-30 Goal Scoring Milestone

RIYADH: (Web Desk) – Saudi football club Al Nassr FC captain Cristiano Ronaldo has etched his name deeper into football history by becoming the first player to score 500 goals at club and international level after the age of 30, according to media reports on Monday.

The historic landmark was achieved during Al Nassr’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Al-Hazem FC in the Saudi Pro League, where Ronaldo once again played a key role in his team’s dominant performance.

To commemorate the achievement, Ronaldo celebrated by wearing the traditional Saudi cloak known as the Bisht, in tribute to Saudi Arabia’s Founding Day. The Bisht, a revered cultural garment symbolising honour, leadership, and prestige, added a strong cultural dimension to the historic moment.

Photographs of Ronaldo wearing the Bisht quickly went viral across social media platforms, attracting attention from international media. Analysts hailed the gesture as a meaningful cultural connection that showcased Saudi heritage on the global sporting stage.

Ronaldo Makes An Odd Career Choice at 40

According to reports, Ronaldo had netted around 463 goals before turning 30. Since then, he has remarkably added another 500 goals, underlining his extraordinary fitness, discipline, and enduring hunger for success. Now aged 41, the Portuguese superstar continues to defy age, maintaining elite-level productivity rarely seen in modern football.

The victory also pushed Al Nassr to the top of the league standings, strengthening their bid for the Saudi Pro League title.

Since joining Al Nassr in 2023, Ronaldo has not only enhanced the club’s on-field performances but has also played a pivotal role in raising the international profile of Saudi football.

Over his legendary career, Ronaldo has shattered records with Real Madrid CF, Manchester United FC, Juventus FC, and the Portugal national football team. This latest milestone adds another remarkable chapter to a career defined by consistency, excellence, and global influence — both on and off the pitch.
