Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 500th league goal of his club career on Thursday when he netted from open play for the first time in an Al Nassr jersey.
According to a sporting website, Fan Nation, Ronaldo found the net for the Saudi Pro League title favourites 21 minutes into their away game at Al-Wehda.
He produced a clinical low finish with his left foot after being set up by Abdulrahman Ghareeb.
Ronaldo had scored 311 league goals for Real Madrid, 103 for Manchester United, 81 for Juventus and three for Sporting Lisbon.
This was Ronaldo’s second career goal for Al Nassr after he had converted a late penalty in last week’s 2-2 draw at Al Fateh.
He did not perform his famous “SIU” celebration last week because his goal was not enough to help Al Nassr win.
But he treated fans at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium to his trademark celebration routine in full.
