Cristiano Ronaldo recorded a massive milestone ahead of his eternal rival Lionel Messi, the Al Nassr superstar completed 801 victories in his professional career as his club defeated Al Ahli 1-0, with the Portuguese striker completing a half-century of goals for the Saudi Pro League outfit courtesy of his latest penalty.
Cristiano Ronaldo has accomplished a significant milestone by scoring fifty goals for Al Nassr. In doing so, he has eclipsed his long-time adversary Lionel Messi, who previously held the record for the most goals scored in a single season.When Ronaldo reached the milestone of 801 victories, he became the first player in the history of professional football at the “top level.” A penalty kick scored by Ronaldo, who not only scored his 879th goal of his career but also completed a half-century of goals for his new club, was the decisive factor in Al Nassr’s victory over Al Ahli in their most recent Saudi Pro League match. Ronaldo’s goal was the winning penalty kick.To add insult to injury, the 39-year-old player made history by being the first player in the history of ‘high level’ football to record 800 victories for both his club and his country. In spite of the fact that they prevailed 4-3 over the course of 120 minutes as the match went to penalties, the five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or achieved the record as his team was eliminated from the AFC Champions League. Al Nassr was humiliated by Al Ain in a penalty shootout.Following his most recent victory, which he achieved by defeating Al Ahli by a score of 1-0, Ronaldo has now amassed 801 victories in his professional career, putting him in a class all by himself. When we break down that illustrious total, we see that Cristiano has contributed to Portugal’s success at the international level by winning 125 matches in 205 matches.
Despite the fact that the remaining 676 triumphs have been achieved at the club level, which includes 13 victory for Sporting Lisbon, 316 victories for Real Madrid, 91 victories for Juventus, and 214 victories while he was with Manchester United. The number of victories that Ronaldo has achieved with Al Nassr is 42.Although Cristiano Ronaldo is well ahead of Lionel Messi in terms of the number of victories he has amassed, Messi is still just 36 years old. Ronaldo has a lot of time to catch up to Messi because he was a part of Inter Miami’s success in winning trophies in the previous season, and Inter Miami is presently in first place in the Eastern Conference of the Major League Soccer.The 50th goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo for Al Nassr brings Al Ahli to a loss.Due to the fact that players such as Roberto Firmino, Frank Kessie, and Riyadh Mahrez were all on the field during the match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli, there was no shortage of destructive potential.
Until the final ten minutes of the game, both teams took a cautious approach to the beginning of the game. In spite of the fact that Ronaldo was denied service, he did score early on but was disallowed for offside. In addition, Firmino scored for Al Ahli, but he was called offside for his own touchdown. As a result of Roger Ibanez’s reckless challenge in the final half hour of the match, Sami Al-Najei was taken to the box and lost her balance.In order to break the tie and give his team the lead, Cristiano Ronaldo went up to the plate. A triumph by the narrowest of margins brought an end to the four-match winless streak that the Knights of Najd had been experiencing.Observe:
Ronaldo will next head back to Lisbon to report on international duty as Portugal are set to face Sweden and Slovenia on March 21 and 26 respectively.
