Riyadh
Cristiano Ronaldo marked the 1,200th game of his professional career by scoring one goal and assisting another for Al-Nassr.
The 38-year-old helped the Saudi Arabian club beat Al-Riyadh 4-1 to continue their fight for first place in the Saudi Pro League 2023/24.
The Portuguese tapped in Sadio Mane’s cross in the 31st minute to break the deadlock and then set up Otavio just before the half-time whistle with a smooth cross who headed the ball home.
Ronaldo’s longevity took an insane leap as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner played his record 1200th game, taking his illustrious career to a whole new level.
However, despite having played 1,200 matches in 21 years as he made his professional debut with his boyhood club Sporting CP in 2002, El Bicho has no intention of stopping anytime soon and wants to continue playing the game.
“Three more points! Thankful to all my teammates who helped me reach my 1200th match. What a ride, but we’re not done yet,” Ronaldo posted on Instagram.
