Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts after setting a record for most goals in a Saudi Pro League season. Ronaldo did so with a brace as Luis Castro’s side saw off Al-Ittihad 4-2 at home on Monday (May 27) in their final league game of the campaign.

The 39-year-old broke the deadlock in the third minute of first-half stoppage time before making it 2-0 midway through the second half. Abdulrahman Ghareeb put the hosts three goals to the good before Al-Ittihad pulled two goals back.

However, Castro’s side confirmed the three points through a late Meshari Al-Nemer strike to close out their league campaign with a win. Meanwhile, Ronaldo put out a bullish message after rewriting the Saudi Pro League scoring record on the last dy of the season, posting on Instagram:

“I don’t follow the records, the records follow me.”


Ronaldo finished seven goals clear of Al-Hilal striker Aleksandar Mitrovic (28), who scored in the champions’ 2-1 win at Al-Wehda to end the league campaign unbeaten, dropping points just thrice in 34 games.
