Cristiano Ronaldo scored a remarkable hat-trick, leading Al Nassr to a 5-3 victory over Al Kholood in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday night. The 41-year-old, who recently claimed the Ballon d’Or of All Time (B.O.A.T.) title from France Football, netted his 983rd, 984th and 985th career goals, bringing him closer to the exclusive 1000 goals club.
With the Saudi League champions locked at 2-2 at halftime, Ronaldo unleashed his prowess in the second half to secure all three points for Al Nassr. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner began his hat-trick with a tap-in from Joao Felix's pass, followed by a precise header after meeting a cross from his Portuguese teammate. Ronaldo's third goal came after Sadio Mane's run was thwarted, allowing Ronaldo to finish off the scoring with aplomb.
This marks his first hat-trick of the season, his seventh in the league this year, and his ninth goal overall in all competitions.
