Cristiano Ronaldo Seeks Third Consecutive Golden Boot as Al Nassr Targets SPL Title
Ronaldo's enduring scoring ability and quest for personal milestones coincide with Al Nassr's ambitions in the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League season.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic Portuguese forward, is poised to enter the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League (SPL) season on the cusp of achieving another significant milestone.
Since his move to Al Nassr in late 2022, Ronaldo has made a substantial impact, amassing 74 goals in just 77 appearances, showcasing his continued dominance at an advanced age of 40.
With his contract extension until 2027, Ronaldo is focused on securing a third consecutive golden boot, a feat that would place him alongside the likes of Nasser Al Shamrani and Omar Al Somah as three-time league top scorers.
While Al Shamrani remains the only quadruple winner of the award, Ronaldo's recent pre-season performances—scoring six goals in three matches, including a hat-trick against Rio Ave—have underscored his undiminished hunger for success.
The addition of high-profile players such as João Félix and Kingsley Coman to Al Nassr’s squad has bolstered both their attacking prowess and defensive capabilities.
Furthermore, Ronaldo's synergy with Félix indicates the potential for a formidable partnership within the league.
On an individual level, Ronaldo is closing in on the 1,000-goal mark, currently sitting at 939 career goals and seemingly relentless in his pursuit of this significant milestone.
Al Nassr’s aspirations go beyond the domestic front; the club aims to not only reclaim the SPL title but also make strides in continental competitions.
As Ronaldo continues to chase new heights, both personally and with Al Nassr, the stage is set for an intriguing season that promises to be a testament to his enduring legacy.
