Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history, adding yet another impressive record to his already illustrious career. Playing for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, Ronaldo became the first-ever player to reach 700 club victories, cementing his place in football history.
This milestone adds another chapter to the ongoing rivalry with Lionel Messi, where Ronaldo has made a significant leap on this particular front.
A Memorable Night in Saudi Arabia
Ronaldo achieved this remarkable feat during Al Nassr’s 2-1 victory over Al-Raed at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in the Saudi Pro League.
Not only did Ronaldo secure the win, but he also played a pivotal role in his team’s success by scoring a goal and providing an assist. It was a night that highlighted his invaluable contribution to his club.
Breakdown of Ronaldo’s 700 Club Wins
According to Marca, Ronaldo’s 700 club victories are spread across his career at various clubs. His journey began at Sporting CP, where he secured 13 wins.
He went on to achieve 316 victories at Real Madrid, 214 at Manchester United, 91 at Juventus, and now, 66 at Al Nassr. This record is a testament to his longevity and consistent performance at the highest level of football.
A Legacy of Goals
Beyond his club victories, Ronaldo’s career has been defined by his extraordinary goal-scoring ability. With over 900 goals across all competitions, Ronaldo is the leading goal scorer in football history.
Additionally, he holds the record for the most goals in international football with Portugal, a title he has long since made his own.
His accomplishments also include the Guinness World Record for the most goals scored in international matches, further solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
Ronaldo's Impact at Al Nassr
Ronaldo’s impact at Al Nassr has been substantial. With his most recent victory, the Saudi club is now just five points behind joint league leaders Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad.
In his 94 games for the club, Ronaldo has scored an impressive 85 goals, demonstrating that he is still a force to be reckoned with, even in the later stages of his career.
Will Ronaldo Play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
The question on many people’s minds is whether Cristiano Ronaldo will be part of the Portugal squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His Portugal teammate Bruno Fernandes recently expressed his belief that Ronaldo will be present in the tournament.
Fernandes, who plays for Manchester United, said, "I not only believe, but I’m almost certain that he’ll be there. It would be great if Cristiano Ronaldo fulfilled his dream of winning the World Cup with the national team, not only for him but for us Portuguese people."
Fernandes added, "We really want to give that to our country. For him, as the ultimate reference in our football, it would be the best way to end." The World Cup remains the only major trophy that Ronaldo has yet to win in his career.
By the time the 2026 edition arrives, Ronaldo will be 41 years old, but his passion for the game and his remarkable physical fitness suggest that he could still have a place in the tournament.
Aiming for the Ultimate Glory
Ronaldo’s drive for success is far from over. While the 2026 World Cup might be his final chance to win the prestigious trophy, his legacy is already assured. His 700 club victories and countless other records will ensure that he is remembered as one of the greatest players to ever grace the football field.
