Cristiano Ronaldo earned widespread acclaim for his stellar performance in Al-Nassr's commanding 5-1 victory over Al-Tai in the Saudi Pro League.

Despite facing criticism for his recent outing with the Portugal national team, Ronaldo displayed his trademark resilience by delivering a remarkable second-half hat-trick.

His trio of goals, combined with earlier strikes from Otavio and Abdulrahman Ghareeb, not only secured a resounding win but also solidified Al-Nassr's position in second place.

Cristiano's hat-trick against Al Taee, a team fighting relegation, further cements his reputation as one of the most prolific scorers in football history, boasting an astonishing tally of 64 career hat-tricks, per Sportskeeda.

Remarkably, the Portuguese superstar scored 30 hat-tricks before the age of 30 and netted four times more than that figure since crossing the age 30-year milestone, highlighting his unparalleled scoring prowess.

With 26 goals in the Saudi top flight, the 39-year-old currently leads the league's scoring charts, holding a four-goal advantage over his nearest competitor, Aleksandar Mitrovic of Al-Hilal, as noted by Transfermarkt.
