Cristiano Ronaldo scored 100 goals for Al-Nassr, but the Super Cup slipped out of his hands
Cristiano Ronaldo has done wonders once again.
The 40-year-old football star has achieved another milestone in his illustrious career.
He has become the first player in history to score 100 competitive goals for four different clubs.
After Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus, he has now added Al-Nassr to the list.
While Ronaldo’s individual achievement made headlines around the world,
the night ended in a huge disappointment for his team as Al-Nassr lost to Al-Ahli in a dramatic penalty shootout in the final of the Saudi Super Cup.
Ronaldo’s historic milestone
When Ronaldo stepped up to take a penalty in the first half at Hong Kong Stadium, the whole world was watching.
He calmly scored, not only putting Al-Nassr ahead in the final but also etching his name deeper in football history.
100 goals in just 113 games for Al-Nassr
First player to score 100+ goals at four clubs
Total career goals: 939 and counting
This achievement shows not just longevity, but consistency across leagues, countries and decades.
Saudi Super Cup final drama
This night wasn’t just about Ronaldo’s records. The Super Cup final against Al-Ahli was a rollercoaster.
41st minute: Ronaldo scores from the penalty spot (Al-Nassr’s 100th goal).
Equaliser: Franck Kessie scores for Al-Ahli just before halftime.
Second half: Marcelo Brozovic restores Al-Nassr’s lead.
Last minute upset: Roger Ibanez scored the equalizer for Al-Ahly and had to face penalties.
Shootout: Despite Ronaldo’s kick, Al-Ahly won 5-3 after a miss by Al-Nassr.
The bitter-sweet truth
For Ronaldo, the achievement was sweet, but the defeat was bitter. It has become a recurring theme: historic personal records but losing trophies with Al-Nassr.
Critics have come to call it the “Ronaldo curse” in Saudi football—where his talent shines, but the medals keep slipping away.
Why Ronaldo’s 100 goals matter
Many players dream of scoring 100 goals in their career. Ronaldo has achieved these feats:
Real Madrid – 450 goals
Manchester United – 145 goals (across both tenures)
Juventus – 101 goals
Al-Nassr – 100 goals (and counting)
This feat makes him the only footballer in history to have scored 100+ goals with four different clubs. Legends like Romario,
Neymar and Isidro Lángara had reached the 100 goal mark with three clubs, but Ronaldo now stands alone at the top.
The road to 1,000 goals
With 939 goals, Ronaldo is getting closer to the unthinkable – 1,000 career goals. At 40, he is defying expectations of age and fitness.
If he maintains his scoring form at Al-Nasr, hitting the 1,000-goal mark in the next few years is no longer a fantasy, but a real possibility.
What this means for Al-Nassr
While Ronaldo keeps making history, Al-Nassr still craves team glory. The Saudi club has not been able to dominate continental competitions despite having one of the greatest players of all time.
Fans are hoping that Ronaldo’s goals finally lead to an Asian Champions League win or another major international trophy—not just individual records.
Conclusion
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proven why he is considered one of the best players in football. His 100th goal for Al-Nassr cements his legacy as the most consistent goalscorer across clubs and countries.
Still, the Saudi Super Cup final reminded everyone that football is about more than just individual records—it’s about team success.
Ronaldo may be rewriting history, but the question is, can he also bring home major trophies for Al-Nassr before he retires?
