Al-Nassr on Wednesday began its mission in the knockout stage of the Asian Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo provided the only goal in the match against the Al-Feiha outfit, marking yet another milestone. Even at the age of 39, he hasn’t stopped breaking all sorts of benchmarks.
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday at the beginning of the month, namely on February 5. However, he still confirms that age is just a number. After the friendly against Al-Hilal, in which Al-Nassr lost (0: 2) and the Portuguese was one of the worst players on the pitch, he made up for it in the Asian Champions League.
In the eighth round of the competition, Al-Nassr faced Al-Feiha, also on the opponent’s ground. The result? The second best team in the Saudi Arabian league won 1: 0 and the only goal in the match was scored by the holder of five Golden Balls.
One of the best footballers of all time has reached another important milestone. According to ESPN UK, this was the 1000th competitive match at club level that Cristiano Ronaldo has played in.
That in itself is an outstanding number. Besides, in these duels, the Portuguese has had a hand in 960 goals scored, either by goal or assist. In short, a phenomenal feat.
Still, he can’t be satisfied. This is his second season at Al-Nasser. When he arrived at the beginning of last year, his team was first in the Saudi Arabian league table, but finished second. This year, it doesn’t look like winning either.
The Portuguese is scoring goals and collecting assists. But he’s still waiting for a trophy in the Middle East. Even though he has some stellar teammates. Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic and Aymeric Laporte.
Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to another success
The legendary footballer does not stop there. He makes no secret of the fact that he wants to play as long as possible. He has already played 45 games for Al-Nassr, scoring 39 goals and collecting 13 assists. He wants to continue improving his numbers.
After shooting down Al-Feiha, Cristiano Ronaldo sent a clear message to the world. With the addition of 128 goals in 205 games for the Portuguese national team, he is slowly approaching the 1,000 goals scored mark.
It seems that it is not a question of whether he will break it, but rather it is time to ask when it will happen. This year he will most likely break the 900 goal mark.
And to make matters worse, in addition to great numbers in the sport, he can also boast great earnings. In fact, he was recently named as the highest earning athlete on the planet for 2023 in one of the rankings.
