After scoring his 35th goal of the season for Al Nassr on Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record set by former Al Nassr forward Abderrazak Hamdallah (34 goals in the 2018–19 season), setting the Saudi Pro League single-season scoring record. Ronaldo notched a brace on the final matchday of the season to set the record.
