Cristiano Ronaldo likely to break another record for Al-Nassr, Saudi League

Cristiano Ronaldo is continuing his comeback with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he has the potential to smash yet another record after a difficult period of time. 

With more goals than Kylian Mbappe, the famous forward has already broken the record for most goals scored in a calendar year.

With 53 goals in 58 games played in the calendar year, he outscored giants in Europe, such as Kylian Mbappe of PSG, who netted 52 goals in 53 games in 2023. Erling Haaland of Manchester City has scored 50 goals in 60 games, while Harry Kane, who has played for both Tottenham and Bayern Munich over the past 12 months, has scored 52 goals in 57 games.

When foreign goals are taken into account, the 38-year-old does fall behind both Mbappe and Kane. 

Nevertheless, the accomplishment signifies a turnaround for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in January 2023 amid some controversy after only managing one goal in ten games during his second season back at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese icon leads the league in goals scored as of right now, suggesting that his relocation to the Saudi Pro League has revitalised him. His 19 goals in 17 games this season came after a similarly stellar performance in 16 games the previous season.
