Cristiano Ronaldo was instrumental in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 win over Al-Raed on Thursday, scoring one and assisting the other. He made history with this match while ensuring that his team emerged victorious. According to Marca, the 39-year-old is the first and only footballer in history to reach 700 official club victories, thus making him one of the best footballers to ever play the game.
Ronaldo’s career is a symbol of excellence even when he surpassed the 900-goal mark, it is a feat no other player has achieved before. His force and skill on the field also reminded one that even though he is getting older, he is still at his best game. The win takes Al-Nassr five points behind joint league leaders Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad; however, each of them still has a game in hand and thus still very much in contention.
Ronaldo has so far scored 85 goals in 94 games for Al-Nassr. Such a score tells much about consistency and influence of Ronaldo on the Saudi pitches. Al-Nassr will go on a break from the league as they set up to play Al-Wasl in their game in the AFC Champions League, which Ronaldo is expected to carry his current fine form in international football in the next match on Monday.
