Cristiano Ronaldo has become a football legend. The Portuguese forward has had an enviable career where he has succeeded in every team he's been a part of. From his early days at Sporting Lisbon to his successful stints at Manchester United and Real Madrid, where he made a difference and revolutionized the world of soccer alongside Lionel Messi.

His time at Juventus and his second time at Manchester United left a good impression for a player who still possesses the level to play in Europe. However, poor decisions and a lack of interest from teams forced Ronaldo to close his elite-level chapter and opt for a more friendly league, focusing more on his family.

With that said, Ronaldo became the flagship player of Al Nassr and paved the way for more Arab clubs to go after elite players, as seen with Neymar and Karim Benzema. However, Cristiano's time in the Saudi Pro League has not been entirely negative.

The "Bug' is still a goalscorer, as evidenced by his 12 goals so far this season. After a rocky start to the league for the Riyadh-based team, it seems that things are improving under the guidance of Luis Castro. Just this weekend, they defeated Al Hazhem, a match where Ronaldo broke a record and etched his name into the history books.

What was CR7's achievement?

After scoring over the weekend in his team's victory, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in history to reach 850 official goals, a record that no one else possesses. Undoubtedly, The Goat continues to make history even far away from Europe.
