Leaving Europe has not stopped the Funchal native from doing what has made him a household name in world football, breaking goalscoring records. The 39-year-old signed for Saudi giants Al Nassr in December 2022, playing half of the 2022/23 campaign.
However, in his first full campaign in the oil-rich kingdom, the Portuguese icon has broken Abderrazak Hamdallah's 2018/19 single season goalscoring record of 34.

Ronaldo scored 35 for the Knights of Najd, and during his acceptance of the SPL Golden Boot, the forward revealed that the 2023/24 campaign was one the best of his career.
"To be honest it means a lot because it's my work," the five-time Ballon d'Or winner said, as per ESPN.
"I have to be honest and say it's not something I was looking for at the beginning of the season but over time I started to see that it was possible. So, I have the opportunity to say thank you to my teammates because without the team nothing individually would have been possible.
