Cristiano Ronaldo has once again amazed the football world. On May 26, 2025, he scored his 800th club goal in a Saudi Pro League match for AI-Nassr against AI-Fateh. Even though lost 3-2, Ronaldo’s goal was historic. At the age of 40, he is still performing at the highest level, making fans wonder what more he can achieve.
Ronaldo’s 800 Club Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo has played for five major football clubs. Here’s how he reached 800 club goals:
- Sporting CP (Portugal): 5 goals
- Manchester United (England): 145 goals
- Real Madrid (Spain): 450 goals
- Juventus (Italy): 101 goals
- AI-Nassr (Saudi Arabia): 99 goals
These numbers show his greatness across many countries and top leagues. His closest rival, Lionel Messi, has 753 club goals so far, still behind Ronaldo.
Top Scorer in Saudi Arabia Again
Even at 40, Ronaldo finished the 2024-25 season as the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League. He scored 25 goals this season, after scoring 35 goals in the 2023-24 season. This shows he is still one of the best strikers in the world.
Ronaldo’s Team Result
Although Ronaldo had a great personal season, his team AI-Nassr ended in 3rd place. They were 13 points behind the winners, AI-Ittihad and failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League. This made his 800th goal moment a bit sad, as the team did not do well.
What’s Next for Ronaldo?
After the game, Ronaldo posted a message on X (formerly Twitter):
”This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.”
This message hints that he might leave AI-Nassr, as his contract ends in June 2025. Fans are now waiting to know what his next move will be.
Aiming for 1,000 Career Goals
Ronaldo now has 934 total career goals (including national team goals). He needs 66 more to reach 1,000 career goals – a dream number no player has ever reached. At 40 years old, he is still chasing history.
