Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record for goals scored in a Saudi Pro League season after scoring a double for Al-Nassr against Al-Ittihad, taking his tally to 35.

Ronaldo scored twice in Al-Nassr’s 4-2 win, overtaking Abderrazak Hamdallah’s mark of 34 in the 2018-19 season.

The Portugal forward, now 39, has scored 64 goals in 69 games for Al-Nassr in all competitions since joining on a free transfer in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United.

The win meant Al-Nassr finished second in the table for the second successive season, 14 points behind champions Al-Hilal but 17 clear of third-placed Al-Ahli.

Ronaldo has now scored 765 goals in his 22-year career.
