Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 980th Career Goal in Al Nassr's Saudi Pro League Win
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 980th career goal during Al Nassr's 3-0 win over Al Diriyah in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old opened the scoring with a close-range finish after a rebound, marking his fourth league goal this season. This milestone comes shortly after Ronaldo left Portugal's national team camp following disagreements with coach Jorge Jesus. Despite the controversy, Ronaldo remains focused on club football and is 20 goals away from reaching 1,000 career goals.
