Softfootball analysis has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored an astonishing 501 goals since turning 30 years old. Ronaldo, born on 5 February 1985, celebrated his 30th birthday in 2015 while playing for Real Madrid CF. Now, as of 22 February 2026, the Portuguese superstar has just turned 41, yet he continues to rewrite football history.
Scoring over 500 goals after the age of 30 is a remarkable milestone, especially considering that many strikers do not reach that figure across their entire careers. Even beyond what is traditionally considered a player’s prime years, Ronaldo has maintained elite-level consistency, discipline, and hunger for goals.
His latest statement performance came in Al Nassr’s 4-0 victory over Al-Hazem, where he scored twice to send his club to the top of the Saudi Pro League table. The brace once again demonstrated his positioning, composure, and relentless drive in front of goal.
The title race has grown even more interesting with Al Hilal SFC now sitting second, especially after the high-profile arrival of Karim Benzema. Benzema officially joined Al Hilal on 2 February 2026 on a free transfer after ending his contract with Al Ittihad Club, signing an 18-month deal that runs through June 2027.
While new stars continue to arrive in the league, Ronaldo’s longevity remains the headline story. At 41, he is not just participating he is leading, scoring, and competing for titles.
With 501 goals already recorded after 30, the question is no longer whether his record is extraordinary. It is how much further he can extend it before finally calling time on a legendary career.
