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

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored against 23 of the 24 Saudi Pro League teams he has faced, with Al-Batin being the sole exception. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has maintained his impressive scoring form since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023. Ronaldo has netted 102 goals in 107 Saudi Pro League appearances, and his exceptional record extends to other competitions as well.

He has scored 123 goals in 142 appearances for Al-Nassr, earning him two Saudi Pro League Golden Boots. Some teams have faced significant challenges against Ronaldo, including Al-Wehda, who he has scored 10 goals against in five matches. Despite his success, Ronaldo has yet to find the net against Al-Batin, who remain one of the few clubs to keep him off the scoresheet.

This achievement is particularly notable given the club's small stadium capacity and status as a former Saudi Pro League champion. Ronaldo will now join Al-Nassr under new manager Ange Postecoglou for another Saudi Pro League season, aiming to defend their title and continue his pursuit of 1,000 career goals.
