Al Nassr was eliminated from the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League earlier this week by Al Ain, the representative team of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Therefore, Ronaldo and his teammates at Al Nassr appeared very determined when facing Al Ahli in round 24 of the Saudi Arabian National Championship (Saudi Pro League).
None other than Ronaldo scored the only goal to help Al Nassr defeat Al Ahli 1-0, with a goal scored from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. With Al Nassr’s victory, Cristiano Ronaldo opened another page of football history. The Portuguese star became the first football player to win 801 matches in his career, according to the International Federation, Football History and Statistics (IFFHS). In total, there were 125 wins for the Portuguese team and another 676 wins for the 5 clubs that CR7 has played for in more than 20 years of his career: Sporting Lisbon, MU, Real Madrid, Juventus and Al Nassr. IFFHS statistics only highlight matches in official tournaments.
It is important to know that behind Ronaldo in the list of Top 10 players with the most official wins in football history is Lionel Messi. Specifically, the star currently playing for Inter Miami in the American Professional Soccer League (MLS) has 713 wins in his career, while playing for Argentina with clubs like Barcelona, PSG and Inter Miami.
