RIYADH —
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has reached a significant milestone, scoring his 50th goal for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League during his 48th appearance since joining the league.

With his goal against Al Raed on Thursday, Ronaldo became the third foreign player in Al Nassr's history to reach 50 goals in the Saudi Pro League, following Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 77 goals, and Brazilian forward Talisca, who netted 56 goals.

Ronaldo is also the second-fastest player to reach 50 goals for Al Nassr, achieving this feat in just 48 matches, trailing only Hamdallah, who reached the mark in 42 matches.

In the broader context of the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo is now the third-fastest player in history to score 50 goals, behind Hamdallah (42 matches) and Omar Al Somah (45 matches).

Ronaldo is just two goals away from reaching the remarkable milestone of 900 career goals, including his time with all clubs and the Portugal national team.
