Cristiano Ronaldo Achieves Historic Milestone with 100th Goal in Saudi Pro League

Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo reached a new career pinnacle by scoring his 100th goal in the Saudi Pro League during Al-Nassr’s 4-2 victory over Al-Shabab, placing his team on the brink of the championship title

RIYADH | 09 May, 2026: Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations, solidifying his status as a football icon with a historic performance on Thursday. During a high-stakes encounter against Al-Shabab, the 41-year-old striker found the back of the net in the 75th minute, converting a precise pass from teammate Sadio Mane. This strike marked Ronaldo’s 100th goal in the Saudi Pro League since joining Al-Nassr, and the 971st goal of his illustrious professional career.

The victory was not a solo effort, as Joao Felix delivered a spectacular hat-trick, ensuring Al-Nassr secured all three points in a dominant 4-2 display. This win has propelled Al-Nassr to the top of the standings with 82 points from 32 matches. They currently hold a five-point lead over their closest rivals, Al-Hilal. Ronaldo’s goal was his 26th of the current league season, further cementing his position as the league’s most clinical finisher despite entering his fifth decade.

While Al-Nassr sits comfortably at the summit, the title race remains mathematically alive. Al-Hilal still has one game in hand, meaning the gap could narrow before the final matches of the season. The intensity of the competition is set to reach a fever pitch this coming Tuesday, as the two giants prepare to face off in the highly anticipated “Riyadh Derby.” This match is widely expected to be the deciding factor in the 2026 championship race.

The global football community has reacted with awe to Ronaldo’s continued dominance. His ability to maintain peak physical condition and scoring efficiency has kept Al-Nassr at the forefront of Asian football. Fans are now eagerly watching to see if the Portuguese star can lead his club to the ultimate domestic prize in the final stretch of the season, potentially adding another trophy to his unparalleled collection.
