Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo continues to break and set records as he adds another feather on his gigantic hat.
After scoring in Al Nassr's 4-1 win over US Monastir, Ronaldo has now scored a goal in 22 different seasons.
His headed goal in the 74th minute has also put him at the summit of players with the most headed goals in history.
The Portuguese took his headed goals tally to 145, usurping German great Gerd Müller to the top spot.
Muller scored 144 headed goals in his career, while other names on the legendary list includes; Spaniard Carlos Santillana and Brazil's Pele.
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr on the 1st of January, 2023 on a free transfer and he has gone on to eschew his brilliance ever since.
The 38-year-old is currently the highest-paid athlete in football, having signed a £173-million per year deal with Al Nassr.
Ronaldo has scored 15 goals and provided 2 assists in 21 appearances for the Saudi Arabian side across all competitions.
The 5-time Ballon d'Or is approaching the end of his career but astonishingly he still continues to produce magic.
From his ever-passionate attitude to his result-oriented motive, Cristiano Ronaldo seemingly shows no sign of waning.
His target for the 2023/24 season definitely will be winning the Saudi Pro League, having lost the title to Al Ittihad last season.
Ronaldo wasn't able to guide Al Nassr to silverware, as the Knights of Najd bottled the Pro League title alongside crashing out of the Saudi Super Cup and the Saudi King's Cup.
Al Nassr are intensifying preparations ahead of the upcoming season and they have played several high-profile friendlies so far.
Luis Castro's side were able to pick up only 1 win in 5 preseason matches, but despite that poor tally those games would have offered needed improvements for the coming season.
Playing out a 0-0 draw with French giants Paris Saint Germain and a 1-1 draw with Champions League finalist Inter Milan is something they can be proud of.
Al Nassr's only preseason win came against Farense and it was a 5-0 annihilation of the Portuguese side.
The Saudi Pro League runners up are also making necessary reinforcements ahead of the coming season with three signings made so far this summer.
Alex Telles joined Al Nassr from Manchester United this summer, while Seko Fofana and Marcelo Brozovic signed for the club from Lens and Inter Milan respectively.
Sadio Mane is expected to become the fourth signing to be made this summer with his medical already completed.
He is set to sign a four-year deal with Al Nassr which will see him earn about £136 million in total.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be charged up for the coming season, seeing the additions already made this summer by the Riyadh based side.
Customarily with Ronaldo, his influence knows no bounds as he recently became the highest-paid star on Instagram, overtaking American socialite Kylie Jenner.
The former Juventus forward will be fully prepared for the commencement of the 2023/24 season.
On Monday, August 14, 2023 Al Nassr will kick off the campaign facing off against Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq, who also recently signed Jordan Henderson from Liverpool.
However, prior to that encounter the Saudi Pro League side will be playing against Zamalek SC in the Arab Club Champions Cup.
Luis Castro's side are at the top of Group C in the Arab Club Champions Cup with 4 points and they will want to confirm their progress to the next round with a win or a draw against the Egyptian side.
Zamalek sit 3rd in Group C with 3 points, while Al Shabab sit 2nd and US Monastr sit 4th.
