Cristiano Ronaldo has reached a unique goalscoring record after scored for Al-Nassr in their 5-1 win against Al-Fateh. The Portuguese international became the first player in the history of the sport to reach 800 goals in club level football.
Cristiano Ronaldo's new milestone
Ronaldo smashed a shot into the top corner in the second half to score his fifth goal in as many league games for Al-Nassr. The goal was his 800th in club football and his 99th in just 112 matches since joining the Saudi side in January 2023.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored five goals in 31 appearances as a teenager for Sporting Club before joining Manchester United. The forward amassed 145 goals in 346 across two spells for the Red Devils and went on to produce 450 goals in 438 matches for Real Madrid. The 40-year-old amassed 101 goals in just 134 appearances for Serie A side Juventus in his time.
Ronaldo still continues to shine in scoring goals, having only just become the top goal scorer in the history of FIFA World Cup qualifying last week. He has now 949 goals for club and country in his professional career and is going closer to the 1000-goal mark.
Cristiano Ronaldo reigns supreme in 2025 Forbes rankings
According to Forbes, Cristiano Ronaldo continues his reign as the world’s highest-paid footballer for the 2025–26 season. The Portuguese superstar, currently playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, boasts combined on-field and off-field earnings estimated at a staggering $280 million.
This figure makes him not only the wealthiest footballer but also one of the richest athletes across all sports globally. Much of his fortune stems from his landmark deal with Al Nassr, which remains one of the most lucrative contracts in football history. Beyond his salary, Cristiano Ronaldo’s massive endorsement portfolio — including partnerships with Nike, Clear, and his own CR7 brand — continues to secure his financial supremacy.
