Cristiano Ronaldo is eternal! Al-Nassr superstar leaves Lionel Messi in the dust with latest hat-trick heroics against Al-Tai
Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his prolific scoring prowess once again on Saturday, securing yet another hat-trick as Al-Nassr secured a commanding victory in the Saudi Pro League.
In the match against Al-Tai, Ronaldo netted his 64th career hat-trick, propelling Al-Nassr to a resounding 5-1 triumph. His latest trio of goals further extends his lead over his closest rival in terms of hat-trick prowess in the latter stages of a player’s career. Since turning 30, Ronaldo has notched an impressive 34 hat-tricks, a staggering 28 more than Messi, as reported by talkSPORT.
With his latest strikes, Ronaldo’s career goal tally now stands at an impressive 882. The Portuguese icon has previously set an ambitious target of reaching 1,000 goals before retiring. Despite turning 40 in 2025, Ronaldo is expected to continue playing until at least 2027, providing him ample opportunity to achieve his milestone.
Celebrating his latest feat on social media, Ronaldo shared a series of images from the match on X along with the caption: “This is how we do it. Amazing victory and another hat-trick!”

Looking ahead, Ronaldo aims to add to his goal tally as Al-Nassr returns to Saudi Pro League action against Abha on Tuesday.
Recall, Ronaldo has publicly apologized after an injury led to the cancellation of Al-Nassr’s two-game tour of China. Ronaldo, nursing a muscle complaint, would have been unable to play against Shanghai Shenhua and Zheijang. Consequently, the friendly games have been postponed with the intention of rescheduling them at a later date.
