Portuguese football icon and Al Nassr's striker Cristiano Ronaldo is not ageing as he continues to score goals in the Saudi Pro League.
The 38-year-old netted his 51st goal of 2023 during the game against Al Ettifaq at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh. It was also Ronaldo's 17th goal of the SPL and his 870th career goal.
Ronaldo converted his penalty as he buried the ball in the bottom left corner. Al Ettifaq's goalkeeper Paulo Victor guessed right but could not get a hand to it.
The penalty was awarded after Sadio Mane brought the ball with a great touch and made his way inside the box. Abdulrahman Yousef tried to stop Mane but ended up blocking the latter’s cross with his hand.
The game concluded with Al Nassr winning by 3-1.
It must be noted that England's Harry Kane, who now plays for Bayern Munich has joint most goals with France's Kylian Mbappe. Both have 52 goals.
Manchester City's Erling Haaland is at third with 50 goals.
