Cristiano Ronaldo continues to grow his legend and is currently celebrating 950 goals as a professional. The Portuguese scored the second goal in Al Nasr’s 2-0 win over Al Hazm and celebrated on social media, sending a message that some interpreted as criticizing Lionel Messi.
The 40-year-old striker scored his sixth goal in six games of the 2025-26 season, giving the team a perfect start to the Saudi Pro League season and taking them to the top of the table with 18 points. This is three points ahead of Al Tawun and eight points ahead of defending champions Al Ittihad.

Cristiano Ronaldo: “Always hungry for more!”
After the match, Ronaldo shared his joy on social media with a message that reflected his unwavering ambition.
“I’m happy to have helped the team win and reach 950 goals! Always hungry for more!” he wrote on Instagram, revealing that his thirst for glory remains the same.
With this new achievement, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player sends a warning to his rivals. He continues to score goals for both club and country and remains determined to continue winning titles.
Cristiano wants to continue despite family pleas
A few weeks ago, Ronaldo won the Prestige Award at the Portuguese Football Globe Awards, where he revealed that his family had encouraged him to retire. But the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said frankly:
“My family says I’ve done everything and it’s time to stop. But I don’t think so. I continue to produce good things and continue to help the club and Portugal. Why not continue?” he said.
My family is telling me to retire but I want to continue helping the club and Portugal
Ronaldo said he knows his retirement is near, but he’s focused on enjoying the moment. “I’m not thinking about the long term anymore. I want to enjoy every day, practice after practice, match after match.”
Dense schedule with Al Nasr and prospects for the 2026 World Cup
The all-time top scorer will aim to get even closer to that record when Al Nasr face Karim Benzema’s Al Ittihad in the last 16 of the King’s Cup. The Saudi club will then face Al Faiha and India’s Goa in the AFC Cup before visiting Neom on November 8.
After completing a tough schedule, Ronaldo will join the Portugal national team as they aim to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Roberto Martinez’s side will face Ireland and Armenia, with CR7 determined to keep his legend alive and pursue his 1000th goal.
