Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 100th Goal for Al-Nassr, Delivers Saudi Super Cup Glory

On August 23, 2025, Hong Kong Stadium became the stage for yet another chapter in Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable career. At 40 years old, the Portuguese icon proved once again that age is no barrier to greatness, scoring his 100th goal for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Super Cup final against Al-Ahli. His decisive strike not only sealed a dramatic 2-1 victory but also delivered Al-Nassr their first major trophy—a moment that will forever be etched in the club’s history.

The match was tense from the opening whistle. Al-Ahli struck first, testing Al-Nassr’s resolve and raising doubts about whether the Riyadh-based side could finally lift silverware on the regional stage. But as has been the case for two decades, Ronaldo thrives in moments when the pressure is at its highest. In the second half, with the score level and time running out, he unleashed a clinical finish that sent the Al-Nassr faithful into delirium.

That goal carried weight far beyond the scoreboard. It marked Ronaldo’s 100th for Al-Nassr, making him the first player in football history to score a century of goals for four different clubs. After reaching the milestone with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, Ronaldo’s achievement with Al-Nassr cements his status as the most consistent scorer across generations, leagues, and continents.

“This is why he is special,” Al-Nassr manager Luís Castro said after the match. “Cristiano is not just about numbers—he changes the mentality of a team, of a club. Today, he gave Al-Nassr a belief we’ve never had before.”

The victory also represents a turning point for Saudi football. While the Saudi Pro League has drawn global headlines for high-profile signings and ambitious investment, tangible success on the pitch has been the ultimate goal. Ronaldo’s decisive strike, in a packed stadium outside Saudi Arabia, underlines the international reach and growing credibility of the league.

For Ronaldo himself, this milestone is as much about legacy as it is about trophies. At 40, he continues to defy expectations, adapting his game while maintaining his relentless drive to win. His 100-goal record at Al-Nassr isn’t just a personal triumph—it is a statement that longevity and excellence can coexist at the very highest level of the sport.

Fans of Al-Nassr will remember this night not only as the evening their club lifted its first major trophy but also as the night Cristiano Ronaldo immortalized himself in yet another corner of the footballing world. For a player whose career has already rewritten the record books, this achievement adds one more line to a résumé that few, if any, will ever match.
