CRistiano Ronaldo is still a scoring machine … also in the Saudi league. In this season, in the absence of eight days for the end, the Portuguese is the Current ‘Pichichi’ of the SPL with 19 goals. They are closely followed by Abderrazak Hamdallah (Al-Shabab) and Marcos Leonardo (Al-Hilal), both with 17. Then comes Karim Benzema (To Ittihad), with 16 goals.
Player with more goals in a season of the Saudi League
Nothing new for him Real Madrid former player. And is that last season He beat the league goals record in a single season with 35 goals In 34 games. In this way, he exceeded the registration of his own Hamdallah (his great rival scorer this campaign), which culminated 34 goals with Ittihad in 2018-2019. Since He arrived at Nassr in December 2022the Portuguese is making incredible numbers and already has several records at your fingertips.

Two goals in history
The scorer voracity From the five -time champions winner is still intact. Already accumulates 68 goals (in 91 games) since he arrived at the League. This figure places him Only two of the 10 maximum scorers of the Saudi Pro League of this century. The tenth place is marked by Cameroonian Léandre Tawamba with 70 goals. To understand Cristiano’s performance in Arabia, you just have to observe that it is about to reach Tawamba’s figure having played less than half of his minutes (14,068 minutes of the Cameroonian for only 6,167 of the Portuguese).

At this rate, it could become The European with more goals in the history of the Leaguewhich is currently the French Bafétimbi Gomis with 81 goals (in 101 meetings). These Christian scorer records, in just over two years with Al Nassr, place him as the second playerWith better average scorer in the history of the Saudi Pro League scoring a goal every 91 minutes; Behind Mitrovic, who does it every 86. It is striking that in this data is totally matched with the aforementioned Abderrazak Hamdallah (also every 91 minutes). On the other hand, the 186 goals of Majed Abdullah (20 years with the Al Nassr and top scorer in the history of the club) place him as ‘Pichichi’ historic leaguesomething that does seem impossible mission for the ‘7’ of Al Nassr.
The 1,000 goal
The Captain of Al Nassr is already the Maximum scorer in the history of king sport with 929 goals. They follow him Messi With 855 goals and the Austrian Josef Baben with 805. But the Portuguese wants to enlarge its legacy and reach a figure that seems insurmountable: 1,000 goals. He is missing 71 to reach this milestone. Although nothing is impossible for him, age (40 years but about to renew with his team) seems his greatest enemy to reach this record.
More goals in a match
This current record is held by Sami Al-jaber, that in 1990 He scored six goals in the victory by eight goals from Al Hilal against the Al-Rraed. So far, the occasion on which Christian He has been closer to matching that record was in the 0-4 victory of the Al-Nassr against the AL-Wehda in February 2023. He scored the four goals of the matchalthough the figure of Al-Jaber is nothing strange for Christian, since up to two occasions he has reached the five goals in an official match (against Espanyol and Granada, both meetings in 2015). To this are added nine games with four goals (three of them with Al Nassr) and 55 hat-tricks throughout his career.

Most veteran player in marking in the League
Currently, this feat is named after Essam the Hadary (Al-taawoun), which He scored a penalty with 44 years, 10 months and 25 days … being a goalkeeper. His team already won by three goals in that game and ordered El Hadary to achieve the record. If the former Manchester United player would like to reach this milestone, he should extend your stay in the Asian country until its seventh season. He would still have almost five years to fight for this brand.

Mission ‘Impossible’ for Cristiano
Even more difficult seems to achieve 220 matches played by the Brazilian Elton in the Leaguethat place it as the Foreigner with more matches in the Saudi Pro League. As well as reaching 250 goals (in all competitions) of Majed Abdullah with the Al-Nassr shirt that place him as the top scorer in the history of the Yeda club. Likewise, the Legacy of the Portuguese adds and continues. It seems that age for him is just a number.
