Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable goal-scoring performance in September has earned him the title of Saudi Pro League Player of the Month.
The 38-year-old superstar notched an impressive five goals and provided three assists, bringing his season total to 10 goals in just seven games, making him the league’s top scorer.
Ronaldo’s outstanding form has been a driving force behind Al-Nassr’s success, contributing to their six victories in the opening eight matches, placing them in a respectable fourth position within the fiercely competitive division. It’s worth noting that Ronaldo has already surpassed his goal tally from his debut season in Saudi Arabia.
Beyond club success, Ronaldo continues to excel for the Portuguese national team, leading the scoring charts in Euro 2024 qualifying with five goals. He is currently surrounded by top talents like Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles, and Aymeric Laporte in the capital city, as the team aims to surpass their second-place finish from the previous season.
Ronaldo’s achievements in September are even more remarkable considering he also claimed the Player of the Month award in August. In that opening month of the campaign, the prolific striker notched five goals and provided two assists, helping Al-Nassr recover from a slow start and climb the league standings.
Ronaldo and his teammates are gearing up for a Friday night clash against Abha, where they hope to secure a seventh consecutive victory that could propel them to the top of the league.
