What Happened: Ronaldo’s goal in the 68th minute, coming just 10 minutes after new signing Otavio opened his account for Al-Nassr, sealed the victory for his team. This goal was more than just another in his illustrious career; it marked his 850th career goal, solidifying his status as the most prolific player in the history of the sport.
What They Said: In a post on Ronaldo’s official Instagram account, the 38-year-old expressed his delight, saying, “Another great team performance! We keep improving. Let’s go Al-Nassr. 850 career goals and still counting!”

What’s Next for Ronaldo: The striker is set for international duty with Portugal. He is expected to feature in both of their upcoming matches, facing Slovakia on September 8 and Luxembourg on September 11.
