What a rollercoaster in the Hong Kong SAR! In Saturday's Saudi Super Cup final, Al Nassr drew 2-2 with Al Ahli in regulation time, pushing the match to a nail-biting penalty shootout (a tiebreaker where teams alternate shots from the spot). Despite Cristiano Ronaldo ⚽️ powering home his 100th goal for the club in the first half, Al Nassr fell 5-3 in the shootout.
At 40 years old, Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in December 2022, and this milestone makes him the first player ever to hit 100 competitive goals for four different clubs. His career tally now stands at:
- Real Madrid: 450 goals
- Manchester United: 145 goals
- Juventus: 101 goals
- Al Nassr: 100 goals
This edges Ronaldo past legends like Isidro Langara, Romario, and Neymar, who each topped 100 goals for three clubs. Plus, he remains Portugal's all-time leading scorer with 138 goals 🌍.
Though Al Nassr didn't lift the trophy, Ronaldo's record-breaking feat lit up stadiums from Riyadh to Jakarta. For fans across South and Southeast Asia—from Mumbai's streets to Manila's alleys—this was another epic chapter in the GOAT's journey. 🙌
What's next for Ronaldo and Al Nassr? Stay tuned—football never sleeps! 😎🔥
