Cristiano Ronaldo scored career goals 918 and 919 on Tuesday during Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory vs. Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League as he chases the dream of becoming the first player in history to record 1,000 official goals.
Tuesday’s game was his 92nd for Al Nassr since he debuted for the Saudi giants in January 2023. His brace on Tuesday brings his total goal contributions (goals + assists) for Al Nassr to 101.

The soon-to-be 40-year-old is proving that he’s resistant to aging as he’s been in incredible form this season. Tuesday’s brace puts him up to nine goals in his last seven games for the club.
Fans will be curious to see where Ronaldo ends up this year as his contract with Al Nassr expires in June.
