Cristiano Ronaldo scored all four goals in Al Nassr's 4-0 win on Thursday night to bring up a remarkable career milestone and stretch a certain lead on long-time rival Lionel Messi.
Al Nassr Star Clears Air After Giving Ronaldo No. 7 Shirt
Following a slow start to life in Saudi Arabia, the 38-year-old has finally announced himself in the Saudi Pro League following an emphatic performance in his team's victory over Al Wehda.
Ronaldo netted on four occasions – in the 21st, 40th, 53rd and 61st minutes – during the match, with his second goal bringing up the 500th league strike of his career.
Here is how the ex-Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United man reacted to his achievement.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has now scored 503 league goals since bursting on to the scene in Europe more than 20 years ago, with Messi still 10 strikes shy of 500.
Ronaldo captained Al Nassr in their convincing win in the Middle East, and has now amassed five goals in four appearances for the Saudi Pro League leaders.
