  • Al-Nassr have continued their resurgence in the Saudi Pro League
  • Cristiano Ronaldo was instrumental yet again for Luis Castro's team
  • The veteran reached a new milestone with his goal against Al-Hazem

Cristiano Ronaldo keeps shattering the glass ceiling with every goal he scores.

The Al-Nassr captain, who recently won the top goal-scorer award during the recent Arab Club Champions Cup, currently leads the way in goals and assists in the new Saudi Pro League season.

Ronaldo’s impressive form, which has brought Luis Castro’s side back into title contention after their slow start to the season, recently saw him crowned August's 'Player of the Month' in the Saudi top flight.

The Portuguese captain, who was instrumental as his side wrapped up an emphatic win away at Al-Hazem, set an unprecedented record with his goal in the 68th minute of the game.

Ronaldo sets record in Al-Nassr’s win

After scoring for the Knights of Najd, the iconic number seven became the first men’s player in football history to reach the 850-goal mark in professional football.

Bleacher Report broke down Ronaldo's career goals as follows:

  • 450 goals at Real Madrid
  • 145 goals over two spells at Manchester United
  • 101 goals at Juventus
  • 5 goals for boyhood club, Sporting CP
  • 26 goals for Al-Nassr
  • 123 goals for Portugal.

The 38-year-old Portuguese veteran will surely have set his sights on a landmark of 1,000 goals, which remains a feat many players could only dream of.

According to a report by Goal, Al-Nassr's next Saudi Pro League fixture is against Al Raed - a side they have had no problem defeating in recent times.

Sports Brief also reported on Ronaldo linking with Sadio Mane as the attacking duo maintained their remarkable goal-scoring form in the Saudi Pro League.

With Al-Nassr's win over Al-Hazem, the Knights of Najd have won three on the trot, with the superstar duo netting an impressive total of 14 goals this season.
