Cristiano Ronaldo started the new year in spectacular fashion, netting his 917th career goal during Al-Nassr’s 3-1 triumph over Al-Akhdoud. The Portuguese legend converted a penalty just 42 minutes into the game, helping his team recover from an early setback.

This goal against Al-Akhdoud adds another chapter to Ronaldo’s incredible record of scoring in 24 consecutive calendar years. Since his first professional goal in 2002, he has consistently delivered every year—a historic feat unmatched in football. Ronaldo wrapped up 2024 with 43 goals and ended 2023 as the year’s top scorer, with an astonishing tally of 54 goals.

As his 40th birthday approaches on February 5, Ronaldo’s hunger for goals remains unrelenting. With his eyes firmly set on the remarkable milestone of 1,000 career goals, he continues to defy age and push the boundaries of longevity in football. His enduring excellence has cemented his status as one of the sport’s all-time greats.

Ronaldo’s next challenge lies in Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League encounter against Al-Taawoun on January 17.
