Ronaldo sets a 14-year record, Al Nassr issues a firm statement

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to impress the football world by scoring a brace for Al Nassr, reaching 40 goals in 2025 and breaking extraordinary records at the age of 40.

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo caught attention on social media with a humorous post after scoring a brace in Al Nassr’s 3-0 victory over Al Akhdoud in the match held on December 27th.

As captain, Ronaldo opened the scoring for Al Nassr in the 31st minute with a precise right-footed shot. In stoppage time of the first half (45+3’), the Portuguese superstar completed his brace following an assist from Marcelo Brozovic, doubling the home team’s lead. In the second half, former Chelsea forward Joao Felix sealed the impressive 3-0 win with a goal in the final stoppage time (90+4’).

Following this brace, Cristiano Ronaldo made history again by becoming the first player to score 40 or more goals in 14 different years. This milestone further highlights the illustrious career of the Portuguese star. In an era where modern football increasingly favors younger players, Ronaldo’s continuous record-breaking at 40 years old is truly remarkable.

Sharing this achievement on Instagram, Al Nassr proudly wrote: “An extraordinary presence… And history is still being made. 40 goals at 40. The rest has become history.”

Not stopping there, Ronaldo also reposted the message on his Instagram Story with the phrase “40 goals at 40”, accompanied by an old man emoji and a laughing face, showing his usual sense of humor.

The Portuguese forward is also closing in on the incredible milestone of 1,000 career goals. So far, Ronaldo has totaled 956 goals. Meanwhile, Al Nassr, the yellow-green team, leads the Saudi Pro League with a perfect record of 10 wins from 10 matches played.
