The previous record was held by former Al Nassr forward and Moroccan international Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 34 goals in the 2018-19 season. With this achievement, Ronaldo has become the first player to be the top goalscorer in four different top-flight leagues: the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, and the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo, who has had an illustrious career with Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, joined Al Nassr in January 2023. His record-breaking performance underscores his enduring talent and goal-scoring prowess.
