Under the bright lights of China’s Hong Kong SAR, football fans were treated to a heart-pounding Saudi Super Cup final between Al Nassr and Al Ahli. After 90 minutes ended 2-2, the showdown went to penalties, where Al Nassr fell 5-3 in a dramatic shootout. 😮⚽️
Despite the defeat, Cristiano Ronaldo made history by netting his 100th competitive goal for Al Nassr—becoming the first player ever to hit a century for four different clubs. The 40-year-old striker struck in the first half, capping off an incredible run since arriving in December 2022. 🎉
This milestone adds to his legendary haul of 450 goals for Real Madrid, 145 for Manchester United, and 101 for Juventus. It also nudges him ahead of legends like Romario and Neymar, who each scored 100 goals for three clubs.
Even with this personal feat, Ronaldo is still chasing his first major trophy in Saudi Arabia. The Portugal icon, who is also his country’s all-time leading scorer with 138 goals, will look to bounce back in upcoming domestic competitions and keep chasing silverware with both club and country. 💪🌟
For young football enthusiasts, professionals in the sports industry, and global fans alike, this match was a reminder that even football’s biggest stars face tough nights. But history was made, and the beautiful game keeps delivering unforgettable moments. 🙌
