Whenever Cristiano Ronaldo plays, there will be records to break. One of the best players to ever play football won practically everything there is to be won (apart from the World Cup), but he continues to play at a high level at the age of 39. And as expected, he broke another record, this time in Saudi Arabia. After scoring a brace in a Al Nassr 4-2 win over Al Ittihad, “I don’t follow the records, the records follow me” he tweeted after the game.Proud to make history as the first top scorer in 4 countries 🏴 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇸🇦 A huge thank you to all the clubs, teammates and staff who helped me along the way. pic.twitter.com/wmimyDrRP2— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) May 28, 2024 The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star struck in first-half stoppage time and again in the 69th minute with a header as Al Nassr defeated Al Ittihad 4-2 at home on Monday. The previous record for most goals in a single season was the 34 scored by the Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah in 2018-19. However, all those goals didn’t help his Al-Nassr win the title as they finished second, below the undefeated Al Hilal (14 points difference).As rich as CR7: He’ll be 40 soon, yet he still jumps high above anyone else in the worldHowever, the Saudi club is surely satisfied with their star player, who came to Al Nassr in December 2022 and began a football revolution which saw an exodus of old and young European players hungry for money. According to Talk Sport, they are prepared to offer Ronaldo a contract until 2025, and it is believed that the player is open to a one-season extension with the Saudi club. If he stays, it would boost Al Nassr’s finances as well, since the next cycle of TV rights will be negotiated in 2025.##NAJAVA_MECA_8130320##
