Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates a goal by pointing to the sky in an Al-Nassr match.
Cristiano Ronaldo emphasizes team over personal accolades after leading Al-Nassr to victory in AFC Champions League.
Cristiano Ronaldo has declared that personal records are no longer his priority, focusing instead on helping Al-Nassr achieve team success. The 39-year-old Portuguese star made the statement after scoring his 904th career goal in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 win over Al-Rayyan in the AFC Champions League.
“It is not important anymore whether I am the best or not. I no longer care about that,” Ronaldo said. “The most important thing for me now is to enjoy and help Al-Nassr and my teammates win.”
Ronaldo’s goal against Al-Rayyan was emotional, as it coincided with his late father’s birthday, to whom he dedicated the goal. After scoring, he pointed to the sky rather than performing his usual celebration.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United and has since become a key figure in the Saudi Pro League, breaking the record for most goals in a single season with 35. Despite these accomplishments, Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to win the club’s domestic or continental title.
Ronaldo has hinted that he could retire at Al-Nassr, stating, “I don’t know if I will retire soon, in two or three years, but probably I will retire here at Al-Nassr.”
Ronaldo remains focused on helping his team as he shifts away from personal achievements to lead Al-Nassr to future success.
