Ronaldo hat-trick takes him to 985 as Al-Nassr beat Al-Kholood 5-3

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Kholood 5-3 in the Saudi Pro League on 30 October 2026, moving the 41-year-old forward to 985 career goals.

The match was level at 2-2 after goals from Angelo Gabriel and Sadio Mane for Al-Nassr before Ronaldo produced his match-winning sequence. He struck three times in a 15-minute spell in the second half to secure the victory, with team-mate Joao Felix supplying four assists, including for two of Ronaldo’s goals.

The three-goal haul was the 67th hat-trick of Ronaldo’s career. His career hat-trick tally includes seven for Al-Nassr, 44 for Real Madrid, 10 for Portugal and three each at Manchester United and Juventus.

Ronaldo is a five-time Ballon d'Or winner. He has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia and is the all-time top goalscorer in men's international football.

He has spent almost four years with Al-Nassr and has one year remaining on his contract. In August, he hinted at retirement by saying it was "probably" his last year playing.

Al-Nassr are the defending Saudi Pro League champions and sit second in the table, with a game in hand on leaders Al-Qadsiah.
