Cristiano Ronaldo is a household name. The Portuguese superstar has been a regular presence in football since making his debut for Sporting Lisbon at 17 years and seven months in 2002. Ronaldo only played for Sporting for a season before being snapped up by Sir Alex Ferguson for Manchester United in 2003 after an electric display in a pre-season friendly game in Portugal.
Ronaldo developed his game at Manchester United, becoming a key part of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team that dominated English football for the next six years. He consecutively won the Premier League title with Manchester United in 2007, 2008, and 2009. He also won the Champions League in 2008, his best-ever season in England, scoring 42 goals in all competitions.
Since leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid in 2009, Ronaldo has become Real Madrid’s all-time leading goalscorer. He broke a few records in Serie A with Juventus, returned to Manchester United, and now plies his trade in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo’s remarkable header secures an important Al Nassr win
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League as a free agent in January after seeing his contract terminated by Manchester United. Although the Portuguese had a slow start to his Al Nassr career, he finished the season with 14 league goals, despite only joining in January. The former Real Madrid man is preparing for the new season in the Saudi League, where several other high-profile names have joined him.

On Monday night, Ronaldo was on the scoresheet again for Al Nassr, scoring a bullet header in a 4-1 win over Tunisia’s Monastir in the club’s Arab Club Champions Cup campaign. This was a much-needed win for Al Nassr, who started the campaign with a draw with Al-Shabab in the group’s opening game.
Cristiano Ronaldo breaks Gerd Muller’s record
Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for being a record-breaker. He is the player with the most records broken in this game’s history, and he has reminded the world how good a player he still is at the age of 38. His bullet header for Al-Nassr against Monastir made him the first player in history to score in 22 consecutive seasons.
He also broke Gerd Muller’s record of scoring 144 goals with his head after scoring his 145th header in last night’s game against Monastir. Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down and may break more records heading into the new season.
Will Ronaldo lead Al Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title in the new season?
