Cristiano Ronaldo made his comeback to professional football with Al-Nassr, following his recent departure from the Portuguese national team. The 41-year-old striker, who has amassed an incredible 980 career goals, including his first-ever goal for his new Saudi Pro League side, scored the opening goal for Al-Nassr after just 23 minutes.
The Saudi fans celebrated Ronaldo's return by unfurling a large banner in his honor, reading 'greatness is earned, CR7, all-time top scorer in football history'. Ronaldo himself, despite having announced his retirement from international football, seemed to have no regrets about his decision, citing a perceived 'absolute breach of trust' from former coach Jorge Jesus at Al-Nassr.
His goal was his 980th in official matches, spanning his time at Portugal, Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al-Nassr. With 146 goals in 234 caps for his country, Ronaldo holds the record for the most goals in men's international football history. Samu Costa and Kingsley Coman added further goals, with Coman scoring a crucial third in the 77th minute.
