• Cristiano Ronaldo chalked yet another landmark in his illustrious career on Friday
• The 38-year-old became the most prolific scorer across first divisions in the history of football
• His brace against Al Akhdoud ensured Al-Nassr continued their winning streak in the Saudi League

Cristiano Ronaldo, the head of the Saudi Pro League glitterati and superstar of Al-Nassr, achieved yet another milestone following his remarkable double against Al Akhdoud on Friday, November 24.

Ronaldo's performance harkened back to his prime, showcasing goals worthy of the Puskas Award and extending Al-Nassr's unbeaten streak to an astounding 19 games across all competitions.

Ronaldo's sensational brace

Despite a subdued performance for the most part of the clash against Akhdoud, the Ballon d'Or laurette transformed the game as it approached its final stages.

His first goal demonstrated unparalleled skill as the 38-year-old controlled a lofted pass with audacious finesse before driving the ball home at the near post.

However, his second strike surpassed even that—a breathtaking long-range shot lofted over the helpless visiting goalkeeper, who found himself woefully out of position.

According to talkSPORT, Cristiano's tally for Al-Nassr now stands at 32 goals in 37 matches, a remarkable achievement accomplished in just 11 months in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo becomes all-time 1st division top scorer

While his impressive numbers in the Saudi top division are noteworthy, his overall goal count across illustrious stints in three of Europe's top five leagues and now in the Middle East is simply astounding.

The former Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus ace has amassed a total of 527 goals across first-division competitions, conquering the Saudi Pro League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Liga Portugal, Mail Sport reports.

His stunning tally means Ronaldo has scored the most first-division goals in football history, per Fabrizio Romano.
