Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo might have left Europe, but he is still adding notable achievements to his impressive resume. On Thursday, Ronaldo scored four goals to lead his Al Nassr to a 4-0 win over Al Wehda. He also broke the 500 career league goals mark, becoming just the fifth player in history to do so.
Ronaldo entered the Al Wahda game with 499 goals scored in five different top national leagues playing for five different clubs. He got to the 500 mark in the 30th minute, giving his team a 1-0 lead.
The 38-year-old would go on to score three more goals and finish the game sitting at 503 league goals. Besides Al Nassr, he also scored goals for Sporting Lisbon (3), Manchester United (103), Real Madrid (311), and Juventus (81).
Ronaldo is already recognized as the player who scored the most goals in the history of the game and holds the record for most goals on an international level. Only four players scored more goals in national leagues than him, including Ferenc Puskas, Josef Bican, Romario, and Pele.
After being released from Manchester United earlier this season, Cristiano Ronaldo opted to take his talents to Saudi Arabia and Al Nassr in January. He reportedly inked a deal that will pay him €200 million per year and included a €100 million signing bonus.
