Comparisons between the two arch-rivals of football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, are made every time. Who is ahead of whom is judged by statistics. This time, the Portugal forward made such a record, which is not equal to the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Al Nasr beat Al Akhdoud 3-1 in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday. Ronaldo shook the net from the penalty between Sadio Mane's double goals. CRSeven scored the first goal of the year. Al Nasr rose to third in the Saudi Pro League table.
And this goal has a unique record of Ronaldo. He became the first player to score in 24 consecutive years. He made his debut for Sporting Lisbon in 2002. Approaching his 40th birthday, Ronaldo is still a formidable presence in front of goal.
Messi put on the Barcelona jersey two years after Ronaldo's debut. In May 2005, the first goal was seen. He will have to play until 2028, when he will be 41, to match Ronaldo's record for consecutive consecutive goals.
