Cristiano Ronaldo has built his entire legacy by smashing goalscoring records at every stop of his legendary career. With a pivotal clash against Al Ahli on the horizon, the Al Nassr star is now just a brace away from reaching another historic scoring milestone in the Saudi Pro League.
Despite a recent flu outbreak affecting several of the team’s top stars, Al Nassr are set to host Al Ahli this Wednesday. While the league leaders look to extend their advantage at the top of the table, Ronaldo finds himself once again on the verge of making history.
Ronaldo is currently just two goals shy of the century mark in the Saudi Pro League. Should he net a brace against Al Ahli, he would become only the sixth player to ever reach 100 goals in the history of the competition.
Furthermore, a brace would make him only the fourth player to achieve the 100-goal mark in the SPL with a single club. According to Transfermarkt, that elite list currently features Omar Al-Somah with Al Ahli (144 goals), Nasser Al-Shamrani with Al Shabab (101), and former Al Nassr standout Mohammed Al-Sahlawi, who tallied 103 goals for the club between 2009 and 2019.

During the current 2025-26 campaign, Ronaldo has racked up 24 goals in 25 games, currently sitting third in the Golden Boot race behind Julian Quiñones (26) and Ivan Toney (27). Since returning from a hamstring injury, the Al Nassr star has already found the net three times; with a chance to make history and inch closer to the SPL title, Wednesday’s match is a must-watch event.

Ronaldo’s legacy across multiple regions
Ronaldo recently surpassed 100 total goals with Al Nassr, joining Real Madrid, Manchester United, and the Portugal national team as the outfits where he has reached that milestone. However, when focusing on league-specific records, the striker is about to claim a feat entirely his own.
To date, no other player in soccer history has scored 100 or more goals in four different club competitions, a record Ronaldo is poised to secure. He has already registered 311 goals in La Liga, 103 in the Premier League, and 140 in the UEFA Champions League, with the SPL now expected to join that storied list.
