Ronaldo's Scoring Spree: 23 Saudi Teams Fall Victim

The Saudi Pro League has witnessed the prowess of Cristiano Ronaldo, as the Portuguese football sensation has scored against 23 out of the 24 teams he has faced since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023. Notably, his impressive record includes 102 goals in 107 Saudi Pro League appearances, showcasing his exceptional skill in the competition. Across all competitions, Ronaldo has registered 123 goals in 142 appearances for Al-Nassr, earning him two Saudi Pro League Golden Boots. His scoring record is a testament to his dedication and skill, with some teams suffering more than others at his feet. Al-Wehda, for instance, has conceded 10 goals to Ronaldo in five league meetings, while Al-Fateh and Damac have each given up nine goals to the forward. Furthermore, Al-Okhdood has allowed seven goals, and top Saudi clubs like Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Hilal have also felt the brunt of Ronaldo's scoring prowess. However, one team stands out as the exception to Ronaldo's dominance: Al-Batin. During his first season in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo faced Al-Batin and failed to score in Al-Nassr's 3-1 victory. This achievement puts Al-Batin in a unique group of clubs that have prevented Ronaldo from scoring in a league match, including Leganes, Benevento, Chievo, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester City, Sheffield United, Leeds United, and Crystal Palace. As the new Saudi Pro League campaign begins, Ronaldo will look to continue his pursuit of 1,000 career goals under new manager Ange Postecoglou. With newly promoted teams like Al-Faisaly and Al-Diriyah set to face Al-Nassr, Ronaldo will have more opportunities to add to his remarkable scoring record and potentially complete the set of Saudi Pro League opponents.
