Ronaldo is considered one of the best footballers in the world, and he has set a few records which are hard to be broken.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo recently joined the Saudi club Al Nassr in January 2023, and he has played 47 matches for his new team and scored 40 goals. For his National team, the former Real Madrid star player scored 10 goals in EURO Qualification 2023/2024 after appearing in nine matches.
In the ongoing season of the Saudi Pro League, the Portuguese has appeared in 15 matches for the Riyadh-based club and scored 16 goals. Ronaldo also made seven assists in the 2023-24 season for Al Nassr.
Earlier, the Portuguese superstar returned to his boyhood club Manchester United in 2021 after leaving Juventus, however, his stint in the English club did not last very long after he lambasted the United coach Erik Ten Hag in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan.
After Ronaldo claimed that Ten Hag did not respect the Portuguese player, United terminated the 38-year-old's contract. In his second run at United, CR7 played 54 matches and scored 27 goals. (ANI)
