Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo helped his current club Al-Nassr become the champions of Saudi Arabia in football. This is reported by UNN.
Details
In the match against Damac, which ended with a score of 4:1 in favor of Al-Nassr, the legendary forward scored twice, netting the 972nd and 973rd goals of his career.
In addition, Ronaldo scored his 65th free-kick goal in matches for clubs and the national team. By this metric, the Portuguese continues to close in on Argentine Lionel Messi, who currently has 71 career goals from free kicks.
It should be added that Al-Nassr won the Saudi Arabian championship for the first time since 2019 and for the 11th time in its history. Only Al-Hilal (21) and Al-Ittihad (14) have more titles. Al-Hilal, for which Karim Benzema plays, finished the season in second place, trailing the champion by two points.
As a reminder
In February, it was reported that Cristiano Ronaldo was dissatisfied with internal processes in the Saudi Arabian league and believed his team was losing support. A variant of an early termination of his career in Saudi Arabia is being discussed.
