Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Al Nassr Club in the 17th minute in a 2-1 victory over Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League. The 39-year-old star brought back to the audience the famous SIU celebration to celebrate the birth of a new record.

Specifically, that goal helped Cristiano Ronaldo surpass Argentine legend Lionel Messi to set a record when he scored 715 goals without penalties in his career for club and national team. This record previously belonged to Lionel Messi with 714 goals.

According to statistics, the latest goal in the Saudi Pro League is also the 875th goal in Cristiano Ronaldo’s illustrious career, including 128 goals for Portugal.

The goal race between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will remain attractive in the near future. The Argentine star and Inter Miami Club are preparing to kick off the new MLS season next week.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo will have an advantage because Al Nassr is a strong team in the Saudi Pro League. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi ‘s Inter Miami club is always struggling in MLS.

The Portuguese star has a total of 21 goals this season, making a major contribution to helping Al Nassr narrow the gap with leading team Al Hilal to 4 points. At the same time, he had 5 consecutive scoring matches in the Saudi Pro League.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s motivation is also very great because every goal he scores now will break the record for scoring the most goals in history (875 goals). The 39-year-old striker is also very excited, having scored 32 goals in just 33 appearances for Al Nassr in all competitions.
