The Portuguese superstar is in his second season with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, after arriving on a free basis in January last year (his contract was liquidated by MU previously).
Ronaldo has scored 26 goals this season, including a hat-trick in the 5-1 victory over Al Taee last Sunday (March 31).
The former Red Devils striker is leading the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot, 4 goals ahead of the person ranked second, Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al Hilal).
However, Ronaldo has a chance to make another breakthrough, with Mitrovic just suffering an injury described by the Saudi Arabian press as ” worrying “, forcing him to sit out for several weeks.
If he maintains the leading position in the Saudi Pro League scoring list until the end of the season (May 27), Ronaldo will go down in world football history , becoming the first player to win the Golden Boot title in Saudi Arabia. 4 different top national championships.
Before going to the Middle East to play football, Ronaldo won the Premier League Golden Boot with MU, La Liga with Real Madrid and Serie A while playing for Juventus.
In addition to Ronaldo, other names who also won the Golden Shoe in three different countries are legendary Alfredo Di Stefano, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robert Lewandowski.
Another player is Luis Suarez, currently playing with Messi at Inter Miami (USA) with 5 goals in 7 matches since his debut.
The Uruguayan striker was the top scorer three times in the Dutch National Championship (with Ajax), La Liga (Barca) and Premier League (Liverpool).
This means that Luis Suarez can also compete for the record with Ronaldo, but the Portuguese superstar will become the first player to reach the impressive milestone, if he can do it because the Saudi Pro League season ends in May, while MLS ends in October.
Cristiano Ronaldo shined when he scored 3 goals in Al Nassr’s 5-1 victory over Al Tai, in round 25 of the Saudi Pro League, early on the morning of March 31.
On the day captain Cristiano Ronaldo returned, Portugal suffered a 0-2 defeat against Slovenia in a friendly match this morning (March 27).
