Ronaldo Reaches 500 League Goals After Four Goal Haul

Cristiano Ronaldo reached a milestone of 500 career league goals after scoring four goals for Al-Nassr against Al-Wehda in the Saudi Pro League.

The 38-year-old only managed one goal – a last-gasp penalty – in his first three competitive appearances for the club he joined at the end of December. But he roared back to form against Al-Wehda, scoring in the 21st, 40th, 53rd and 61st minutes to reach then surpass 500 career league goals.

For Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, he has now scored four goals in a single match for the 11th time in his professional career that has now been capped by topping 500 goals.

Ronaldo’s goals set Al-Nassr on a path to a much-needed victory as they push for another league title. The Middle Eastern giants have endured a patch of mixed form since signing the superstar on a contract worth £173million per year and for Ronaldo the attainment of the 500 career league goals is bound to be salutary.

They drew two of their last three league games ahead of the fixture against Al-Wehda and were knocked out of the Saudi Super Cup by Al-Ittihad, depriving Ronaldo of a shot at an early piece of silverware. These results invited Al-Shabab back into the title race, but Ronaldo’s goals on Thursday night saw Al-Nassr leapfrog their rivals, over whom they also have a game in hand.
