Cristiano Ronaldo, the record holder – can become the top scorer in four different countries

Al-Nassr are having a poor season, having been knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup and are 12 points behind Al-Hilal in the Saudi Premier League.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick in the last match against Al Tai (5-1) took him to 33 goals and 11 assists in 34 matches this season in all competitions.

The Portuguese already has the title of the absolute scorer in the history of football, having achieved 882 successes and taking a significant lead in the ranking of the scorers of the Saudi league, writes Marca.

With 26 goals, the former Real Madrid player is four ahead of Serbian Oleksandr Mitrovic, who was injured in the last game against Al-Hilal.

If the lead is maintained for the final nine remaining stages, Ronaldo will become the top scorer in four different countries.

CR7 is the only player to win the trophy in three of the top five leagues: Premier League 2007–08 (31 goals), La Liga 2010–11 (40 goals), 2013–14 (31 goals), 2014– 2015 (48). goals) and Serie A 2020-2021 (29 goals).

Barring any surprises in the final stages, the Portuguese national team will separate themselves from the big names who have managed to become the top scorers in three different championships so far.

Over time, Luis Suarez, Robert Lewandowski, Ruud van Nistelrooy or Romario got into the shortlist.
