Cristiano Ronaldo has reached yet another historic milestone after scoring his 965th career goal during Al‑Nassr’s dominant victory over Al-Najmah, further cementing his place as one of football’s greatest goal scorers of all time, Softfootball reports.
The milestone was confirmed by respected transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle.
Romano posted:
Cristiano Ronaldo reaches 965 career goals, another milestone.
The Portuguese icon opened the scoring after winning a penalty under pressure from Abdullah Al-Hawsawi and calmly firing into the bottom corner past goalkeeper Victor Braga, showing his trademark composure.
The goal set the tone for Al-Nassr’s commanding performance, with Marcelo Brozović later assisting Kingsley Coman, the former Bayern Munich star, to double the lead before Iñigo Martínez added a third.
At 41, Ronaldo continues to defy expectations with remarkable consistency. His recent €200 million contract extension reaffirmed his commitment to Saudi football, dismissing speculation about moves to Major League Soccer or a European return.
Since arriving in Saudi Arabia in 2022, he has transformed the league’s global visibility while maintaining elite performance levels.
Ronaldo’s relentless scoring form now puts him within touching distance of the unprecedented 1000-goal milestone, a record that could further redefine football history.
