Cristiano Ronaldo reached yet another goalscoring milestone on Saturday night when the former Manchester United superstar netted his 400th goal since turning 30.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was on target for Al-Nassr during their 2-0 win over Al-Khaleej. Ronaldo, 38, also teed-up an assist for Aymeric Laporte after opening the scoring himself.
Ronaldo broke the deadlock after 26 minutes at Al-Awwal Park with a sublime long-range attempt. In addition to that goal putting his side in a good position in their latest Saudi Pro League match, it saw the history-maker reach yet another landmark.
The strike was his 15th in all competitions this season. It helped keep Al-Nassr in second position behind table-toppers Al-Hilal, who are four points clear at the summit after 12 matches.

Ronaldo took to social media to celebrate the victory, writing: “Solid win! We keep the pressure on.” The ex-United striker tagged Al-Nassr into his post and added two love heart emojis.
Ronaldo and his teammates next play Qatar side Al-Duhail in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday night. Ronaldo, who has scored 28 goals and provided 10 assists in 34 matches for Al-Nassr since joining them on a free transfer almost a year ago, won his first trophy for the club last term. He scored twice in that Arab Club Champions Cup showpiece win over Al-Hilal.
