Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored over 500 league goals in his career after finding the net four times in Al-Nassr’s 4-0 win over Al-Wehda. The 38-year-old still has some way to go to beat the record set by Pele however with the great Brazilian scoring 604 times in the league during his 19-year career.
Ronaldo had been yet to find his best form in the Saudi Arabian Pro League after his December arrival with the club winning just one of the games he had been involved in. The Portugal captain had also only found the net on one occasion and that strike came from the penalty spot.
However, he truly announced his arrival with a sensational four goal haul against Al-Wehda. The forward scored all the goals in the four-goal win claiming a major career landmark in the process.
Ronaldo has now found the net 503 times in league matches during his professional career becoming only the fifth man to reach the landmark of 500 goals. The 38-year-old follows in the footsteps of Pele, Romario, Josef Bican and Ferenc Puskas with the legendary Brazilian out in the lead with 604 strikes.
