Ronaldo set to achieve unique record
According to SPORTbible, the former Real Madrid ace is in line to become the first player ever to achieve a historic record at the end of the season.
Per the publication, the five-time Ballon d'Or could become the first footballer in history to win a Golden Boot in four different divisions, excluding state championships.
Ronaldo currently has 26 league goals to his name and is topping the goal-scorers charts in the Saudi Pro League. The forward extended his lead at the top after he scored a hat-trick on Saturday against Al Taee.
His closest challenger for the Golden Boot is Al Hilal superstar, Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has netted 22 times. However, the Serbian suffered a serious muscle injury which could impact his chances.
Ronaldo pulled further ahead with his hat-trick against Pitso Mosimane's Abha Club on April 2, as history beckons once again for CR7.
