In the early hours of the last day of 2025 Beijing time, during the 12th round of the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo scored a fortunate deflected goal. However, Al-Nassr drew 2-2 with Damac, ending their 10-game winning streak and reigniting the title race in the league. With this goal, Ronaldo’s 2025 stats stand at 41 goals and 4 assists in 46 matches. The veteran horse still runs strong; at 40 years old, Ronaldo remains highly effective.

Ronaldo’s milestone of 1,000 goals is within reach; his career total has reached 957, just 43 goals away from the 1,000 mark. Perhaps in 2026, Ronaldo will achieve this historic milestone, which will be etched in football history.

Ronaldo previously stated that the World Cup is not just a dream, but the only way for him to join the ranks of the greatest. The goals for next year may be winning titles with Al-Nassr and leading a star-studded Portugal squad to a World Cup victory.
