Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 500th league goal, scoring for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, against Al-Wehda at the King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Mecca on Thursday.

In the 21st minute, the 38-year-old made a run behind the opposition defence, and after receiving a through ball from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, buried the ball into the net for his landmark goal.

He went on to add three more goals to his tally and recorded his career’s 61st hattrick. His efforts ensured Al Nassr won the match 4-0 and reclaimed the top spot in the Saudi Pro League.

The Portugal No. 7, who has played for Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus previously, made an unceremonious exit from Europe after the FIFA World Cup.

After being released by his former cub, Man United, Ronaldo signed with Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, in a deal reportedly worth 200 million dollars.
