Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record for the most goals in a Saudi Pro League season when he struck for the 34th and 35th time in Al Nassr’s final game of the campaign.
“I don’t follow the records, the records follow me,” the 39-year-old Portuguese forward tweeted afterward.
In the match against Al Ittihad, Ronaldo scored in first-half stoppage time and again in the 69th minute with a header, leading Al Nassr to a 4-2 victory at home on Monday.

The previous record for most goals in a single season was 34, set by Moroccan forward Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 2018-19 season.
Ronaldo’s achievement not only surpasses this milestone but also solidifies his status as one of the greatest goal scorers in football history.
