Setting a new benchmark in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo, the prolific striker for Al Nassr, has accomplished the incredible feat of scoring in 23 consecutive seasons.
Ronaldo kickstarted the 2024/2025 season on a high note by netting a goal in their 2-0 victory over Al Taawoun in the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup held on Wednesday.
The Portugal team captain extended their lead after Ayman Ahmed initiated the scoring in the eighth minute of the game.
Ronaldo brilliantly found the back of the net within the penalty area following a precise pass from Sultan Al Ghanam.
With this significant goal, Ronaldo cemented his place in history by becoming the first player ever to consistently score in 23 consecutive seasons.
This extraordinary record traces back to Ronaldo’s early career, when the 39-year-old phenom scored two crucial goals for his childhood club Sporting CP against Moreirense on October 7, 2002.
In the previous season, Ronaldo shattered records by scoring an astounding 35 goals solely in the league, setting a new benchmark for most goals scored in a single season in the league. Additionally, he contributed 11 assists, tallying a remarkable total of 46 goal involvements in just 31 league matches.
