(VIDEO) Cristiano Ronaldo's goal that shows that he still has the level to play in Europe

Cristiano Ronaldo was very criticized when he signed with Al-Nassr club in order to play in the Saudi Pro League, as they said the Portuguese astro only went to Saudi Arabia to increase his fortune as many thought the 38 years old football player was too old to keep playing, but the truth is Cristiano is still making goals, and seem to plays like its 2008.

Ronaldo currently owns the Saudi Pro League goal record with nine goals made in just seven matches, and since his arrival to the MidWest league he has made a total of 35 points by himself, his detractors have eaten their own words as Ronaldo still proves he has the capacity to be a top A class striker.

Ronaldo not only scored one goal but two against Al-Ahli Saudi and has put the stiff even higher with nine goals in seven matches in the 2023/2024 season, the second player that is closer to Ronaldo’s record is Al-Hilal’s Al-Samed Dawsari with six goals made in seven games, and in third position is Ronaldo’s teammate, Mané, who is tied with the second place.

The Saudi Pro League tournament is still very young, and Ronaldo’s contract will expire until 2025, meaning that he still has plenty of time to set his record and displace the maximum score of all Saudi Pro League’s history, Nasser Al-Shamrani, who has 167 goals made in his entire career.

Cristiano has more goals than Haaland and Mbappé?

The question answers for itself, obviously, as Cristiano Ronaldo has more goals scored than these two young players, but the question comes out, as many Ronaldo detractors said that he wouldn’t be able to make any more goals if he signed for the Saudi Pro League.

Kylian Mbappé, who currently still plays for the Paris-Saint-Germain (PSG) has scored eight goals in four games (Ligue 1); Erling Haaland has seven goals made in just five games of the Premier League, stats that a young striker that plays in European leagues should normally have.

Nevertheless, we have to consider that Cristiano Ronaldo is 10+ years older than these two young promises that are in their prime; Ronaldo has the merit to keep scoring goals in a so advanced age (38) in a league that currently has multiple elite players that used to play in top European clubs such as Karim Benzema, Marcelo, Neymar Jr, Mané and more.
