Ronaldo has scored against 23 of 24 Saudi League opponents – Report

Cristiano Ronaldo has netted against 23 out of 24 teams he has played against in the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Batin being the sole club to deny him a goal. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has shown remarkable form since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023, scoring 102 goals in 107 Saudi Pro League matches. Across all competitions, Ronaldo has netted 123 times in 142 appearances for Al-Nassr, earning two Golden Boots.

Al-Wehda, Al-Fateh, and Damac are among the teams that Ronaldo has particularly troubled, each conceding multiple goals from the 41-year-old. The Portuguese superstar has also scored against some of Saudi Arabia's biggest clubs, with six goals in six matches against Al-Ittihad, four in six against Al-Ahli, and three in seven against Al-Hilal.

However, Al-Batin remains his only scoring obstacle, having not conceded a goal to Ronaldo in any of their league encounters. This achievement is even more impressive given Al-Batin's lower stadium capacity, making them part of an exclusive group of clubs that have prevented Ronaldo from scoring. As he prepares for another Saudi Pro League season under new manager Ange Postecoglou, Ronaldo aims to add to his impressive goal tally and complete his pursuit of 1,000 career goals.
