Ronaldo`s Quest for Saudi Pro League Title Continues

:Cristiano Ronaldo, the 39-year-old Portuguese football legend, is gearing up for another intense season with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Despite missing out on the title in his first full season in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is determined to lead his team to victory in the 2024/25 campaign. His impressive goal record continues, with 15 goals in 18 club games across all competitions as of November 30, 2024[1].

Ronaldo's current contract with Al Nassr expires at the end of the 2024/25 season, and he faces a crucial decision regarding his next career step. However, his focus remains on breaking the 1,000-goal mark before retirement. The veteran forward has already set a record for goals in the Saudi Pro League last season, scoring 50 goals in 51 games across all competitions[1].

In the ongoing season, Ronaldo has been instrumental in Al Nassr's performances. He scored in both Saudi Super Cup games, including one goal each in the semifinal and final against Al Taawoun and Al Hilal, respectively. However, Al Nassr lost the final to Al Hilal[1].

Ronaldo's stats for the 2023/24 season were impressive, with 35 goals in 31 Saudi Pro League matches, earning him the league Golden Boot. His overall tally of 50 goals across all competitions included six goals in the AFC Champions League and three in the King's Cup[1].

The Sporting Lisbon club has unveiled their third kit for the 2024–2025 season, honoring Ronaldo. The kit features the number 7 on the front, a nod to Ronaldo's iconic jersey number, and the phrase `Nós somos nosso legado` (We are our legacy) on the back[2]. This gesture suggests that Sporting Lisbon might be preparing for a potential return of the legendary player, who was once part of their youth academy.
