They said the desert sun would set on his career. Instead, it has only illuminated a new chapter of unprecedented dominance.In a high-stakes clash against Al-Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo did what he does best: he found the back of the net.
But this wasn’t just any goal. This was his 100th goal in the Saudi Pro League (SPL).
At 41 years old, an age where most legends are settling into retirement or coaching roles, Ronaldo is still reinventing the “Golden Years.” With 105 games played, his century of goals—paired with 18 assists—tells a story of clinical efficiency that remains untouched by the passage of time.

La Liga (Real Madrid): 311 Goals
Premier League (Manchester United): 103 Goals
Saudi Pro League (Al-Nassr): 100 Goals
The Road to 1,000
This latest strike brings his professional career total to a staggering 971 goals. What once seemed like a mathematical impossibility—the 1,000-goal barrier—is now within arm’s reach.
