Cristiano Ronaldo scores in Al-Nassr’s victory in the Saudi Pro League, saying that he has “850th goals and counting.”
The 38-year-old displayed a flash of brilliance when, after receiving a wonderful pass from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, he immediately fired a goal-bound shot, weaving past a tangle of defenders to score.
Ronaldo’s season total increased to six goals in just four games with his goal against Hazm, cementing his position as the top scorer in the Saudi top division.

After Saturday’s match, Ronaldo, who has a record 123 goals in men’s international competition, wrote on social media: “Another wonderful team performance! We keep becoming better. 850 career objectives and still going.
