JAKARTA Al Nassr's player, Cristiano Ronaldo, officially became the goalscorer through the most headers in football's history.
The record was recorded by the former Real Madrid player when he scored a goal to help Al Nassr win 4-1 over US Monastir in the King Salman Club Cup match at King Fahd International Stadium, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Tuesday, August 1, 2023.
Ronaldo met Sultan Al Ghanam's cross in the 74th minute to bring Al Nassr two goals ahead. It was his 145th header in CR7's career.
The goal made him break the German legend Gerd Muller's record of having 144 goals through a header. Two other names on the top four list were former Spanish player Carlos Santillana (125) and Brazilian legend Pele (124).
This is Ronaldo's 839th goal in his career. One goal above saw the 38-year-old score for the 22nd season in a row.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January 2023 after cutting ties with English Premier League giant Manchester United. At Al Nassr he has scored 15 goals in the Saudi Pro League.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner started his club's career in 2002 with Sporting Lisbon in a 3-0 win over Moreirense. He then scored his first goal in his professional debut against Braga.
In more than 900 appearances with the club since his debut in 2002, Ronaldo scored a total of more than 700 goals. He is also the top scorer at the international level.
Ronaldo has won various prestigious championships throughout his career, including five European Champions League titles, three English Premier League titles, two La Liga, and Serie A with Juventus.
