In the early morning of August 30 (Vietnam time), Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot, contributing to Al-Nassr's 5-0 victory over Al-Taawoun in the opening match of the 2025-2026 Saudi Arabian National Championship.
This goal made Ronaldo the first player in football history to score in 24 consecutive seasons. The achievement started in October 2002, when he was playing for Sporting CP and scored a double against Moreirense in the Portuguese national championship.
In more than two decades of his career, the Portuguese striker has scored a total of 940 goals for Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr and the Portuguese national team. He is now approaching the 1,000-goal mark.
Before that, Ronaldo was also the first player to score more than 100 goals for 4 different clubs and the national team. He has 450 goals for Real Madrid, 145 goals for Manchester United, 101 goals for Juventus, more than 100 goals for Al-Nassr and more than 120 goals for the Portuguese national team. This achievement surpasses many legends who have scored more than 100 goals for 3 teams such as Langara, Romario or Neymar.
At the age of 40, Ronaldo still maintains a stable scoring efficiency, continuing to add new milestones to his career. His record of 24 consecutive seasons with goals is considered a remarkable milestone, affirming his position in the history of world football.
