On Friday night, the Portuguese legend recorded his 1,200th professional match as Al-Nassr defeated him 4-1 with ease; as usual, he exerted considerable influence.

However, the veteran leads all scorers in the Saudi Pro League with 16 goals scored across 15 matches.Ronaldo spent 438 of his 1,200 matches with Real Madrid, where he appeared in the plurality of them.

Evidently ecstatic to have reached the 1,200-game mark, the 38-year-old legend continues to believe he has much to offer in the latter stages of his career. He posted the following on social media following the game: “Three additional points!

Ronaldo will be well aware that he has a substantial amount of work to do in order to close the gap on Al-Hilal, who are already poised to seize the league championship at this early juncture.
