Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most decorated and prolific footballers in history. As Al Nassr’s 40-year-old striker steps into 2026, he could still claim several major records. Ronaldo, who turns 41 on February 5, is keeping his motivation high as always and is pushing for new milestones. European media have highlighted six records Ronaldo could reach.
1. Reaching 1,000 goals: a historic milestone
Ronaldo currently has 958 official goals. If he scores 42 more to reach 1,000, he would become the first player in football history to score 1,000 goals in official matches. He could set this new record as early as the start of the 2026/27 season.
2. League titles in four countries
Ronaldo has won league titles in England, Spain and Italy. If Al Nassr win the Saudi Pro League, he would become a player who has lifted league titles in four different countries. Stars such as Robben, Ibrahimović, Beckham and Rivaldo have achieved this.
3. The first player to score at six World Cups
If Ronaldo scores at the 2026 World Cup, he will become a player who has scored at six different World Cups. So far, this record appears to be within reach only for him.
4. The first player to convert 200 penalties
Ronaldo is the most prolific penalty scorer in football history, with 181 converted penalties. If he reaches the 200 mark, he could set a new record in this category as well.
5. Al Nassr’s top-scoring foreign player
The record for the most prolific foreign player in Al Nassr’s history belongs to Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah with 115 goals. Ronaldo has 114. With two more goals, he could become the club’s all-time top foreign scorer.
6. The first player to score 500 goals after turning 30
Ronaldo has scored 495 goals after the age of 30. He is expected to cross the 500-goal mark soon and become the first in football history to do so.
In 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo has a strong chance to open yet another new chapter in football history and become the owner of new records. His fighting spirit and motivation remain a powerful resource for further success.
