Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr capped his first full Saudi Pro League season in style as he broke the record for the most goals scored in one campaign on Monday.
The 39-year-old Portuguese star scored a brace in his side's 4-2 win over Al Ittihad on the final matchday to bring his league tally this season to 35 goals.
The previous record was held by former Al Nassr forward and Moroccan international Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 34 goals in 2018-19.
Ronaldo, who played for Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, joined Al Nassr in January 2023.
Ronaldo has scored 64 goals in 69 games for Al Nassr in all competitions since 2023.
Champions Al Hilal claimed the title with a 34-game winning streak in all competitions, a new world record for a Saudi top-tier team.
"This season has been truly exceptional for the team, arguably our best ever," coach Jorge Jesus said. "The credit goes to the immense talent within the squad and the incredible sense of unity that transcends both on and off-field interactions."
