NGCristiano Ronaldo has become the first professional footballer to score in 25 consecutive league seasons, achieving this milestone during a match between Al-Nassr and Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old Portuguese forward came off the bench and scored in the 83rd minute, extending his scoring streak back to the 2002-03 season. This accomplishment surpasses the previous record held by Zlatan Ibrahimović, who had scored in 24 consecutive seasons. Ronaldo's goal also brings his total career goal count to 977, putting him within 23 goals of reaching 1,000 official senior goals. He has played for multiple clubs including Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr, as well as the Portugal national team. The goal helped Al-Nassr secure a 4-0 win in their 2026-27 Saudi Pro League opener. Despite his impressive form, Ronaldo has hinted that the 2026-27 season might be his last as a professional player, with his contract with Al-Nassr set to expire in June 2027.
