by Cristiano Ronaldo, a legend at Manchester United, continues to defy age and expectations by maintaining his prolific scoring record. At 39, Ronaldo remains unstoppable, adding yet another milestone to his illustrious career.
Ronaldo, already the record goalscorer at both the international level and in the Champions League, has now become the first player to finish as the top scorer in a single season in four different countries. Celebrating this remarkable feat, he famously stated: “I don’t follow the records, the records follow me.”
Cristiano Ronaldo Thanks Manchester United
Reflecting on his latest achievement, Ronaldo adopted a humble tone, acknowledging the support he has received throughout his career. This season, he scored 35 league goals for Al-Nassr, surpassing the previous record of 34. Considering his age and the challenges he faced during his final months at Manchester United, this accomplishment is particularly noteworthy.
On Instagram, Ronaldo expressed his gratitude: “Proud to make history as the first top scorer in 4 countries 🏴🇪🇸🇮🇹🇸🇦. A huge thank you to all the clubs, teammates and staff who helped me along the way.” He specifically mentioned his former clubs, writing: “🙏 @manchesterunited, @realmadrid, @juventus and @alnassr.”
Closing in on 900 Career Goals
Ronaldo is also nearing another significant milestone—900 career goals for club and country. With 893 goals to his name, reaching the 900 mark seems imminent. Given his exceptional drive, some believe he could even aim for 1,000 goals.
Ronaldo ranks 14th on Manchester United’s all-time top goalscorer list with 145 goals. One of his regrets might be not spending more of his peak years at Old Trafford, instead excelling during his time in Spain with Real Madrid. His best season for United saw him net 42 goals, while he once scored an astonishing 61 goals in a single season for Real Madrid.
This season, Ronaldo has scored 44 goals in 44 games for Al-Nassr. Although the Saudi Pro League is considered weaker, it has attracted many top international players since Ronaldo joined, enhancing the competition’s overall quality.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s message and achievements underscore his lasting impact on football and his continued dedication to breaking records and reaching new heights.4o
