Cristiano Ronaldo completed a new career milestone while representing Al Nassr despite criticism from the fans.

According to Footboom, the five-time Ballon d’Or award winner scored his 935th career goal during Al Nassr’s 2-0 win over Al Khaleej at the Saudi Pro League on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.

Al Nassr forward John Duran opened the score in the 75th minute of the match, and Ronaldo converted a penalty in the 97th minute to secure victory and score the second and last goal of the match.

Cristiano Ronaldo on his 935th career goal

After winning the match and scoring the last-minute goal to get closer to 1000 career goals, CR7 shared a light-hearted post on his Instagram along with some clicks from the clash.

He wrote, “One of those nights where the ball just didn’t want to go in… until it did.”


It is worth noting that the 40-year-old in the past days landed in hot water after Al Nassr fans asked him to leave the club after another trophyless season.

Al Nassr had a disappointing season as the Saudi club was eliminated in the AFC Champions League Elite semifinals by Kawasaki and missed out on the domestic title, which went to Al Ittihad.

However, Ronaldo had a strong individual campaign, as so far he has been featured in 40 matches for Al-Nassr across all competitions; he scored 34 goals and provided 4 assists.
