Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game, turns 39 today.
The Portugal international currently plays for the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr and is the captain of the club.
His move to Al Nassr back in January 2023 has revolutionized the football in Saudi Arabia which has witnessed a massive influx of top European stars in the league.
Ronaldo has so far been an amazing servant for his Middle-East suitors, as he has racked up many goals for them and has won a trophy as well. Here are five Al Nassr records Cristiano Ronaldo can make of his own-
Top Goal Scorer of Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo currently has 44 goals in 50 appearances for Al Nassr. The football icon is ranked 4th in Al Nassr’s all-time highest-scoring list in just one and a half seasons.
Mohammed Al-Sahlawi is the highest goal scorer for the club with 120 goals. But Ronaldo can aim to make the record his own if he plays for them in the upcoming seasons. He has so far netted 30 goals in just 31 matches for them, and if he continues in the same rate, Ronaldo can achieve the target within the next two seasons.
AFC Champions League-winning Captain
In its history, Al Nassr have never won an AFC Champions League. The Saudi club became runners-up in the 1995-96 season but they never tasted glory. Al Nassr are already in the knockouts of the AFC Champions League this season and if they lift the trophy this season, Ronaldo can be part of the club’s history. The Portuguese can become the first-ever AFC Champions League-winning captain of the club, which itself is a fantastic achievement
