Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating his goal
Age continues to be just a number for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The football icon was once again on target on Friday night as Al Nassr FC secured a 2–0 victory over Al Fateh SC in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 18th minute, calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper with a sharp and composed finish. There was no drama, no wasted movement — just a trademark strike from one of football’s greatest ever players.
According to ESPN, the goal was his first since turning 41, adding yet another milestone to a career that continues to defy expectations.
The strike also took his professional career tally to an astonishing 962 goals — a figure that underlines his remarkable longevity and consistency at the highest level of the game.
True to character, Ronaldo did not linger on the moment. There was no elaborate celebration. Instead, he jogged back into position, focused and ready for the next phase of play.
At an age when most footballers have long retired, Ronaldo remains a regular starter, a key figure for his team, and a reliable goalscorer.
Still competing. Still delivering. Still rewriting the limits of football longevity — Cristiano Ronaldo’s story, it seems, is far from over.
