Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 67th Hat-Trick, Nears 1000 Goals

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 67th career hat-trick as Al-Nassr achieved a 5-3 victory over Al-Kholood in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old Portugal captain netted three goals in 15 minutes during the second half, following contributions from teammates Angelo Gabriel and Sadio Mané.

Joao Felix played a significant role by providing four assists, including two for Ronaldo. This hat-trick brings Ronaldo's career total to 985 goals, leaving him just 15 goals shy of the historic milestone of 1,000 official senior career goals.

Of his 67 hat-tricks, seven have been scored while playing for Al-Nassr. Ronaldo has previously scored 44 hat-tricks for Real Madrid, 10 for Portugal, and three each for Manchester United and Juventus.

He has spent nearly four years at Al-Nassr and has one year remaining on his current contract. In August, he suggested that this season might be his last as a professional footballer.

Al-Nassr is currently in second place in the Saudi Pro League standings, competing for the title.
