Despite the passage of time, Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence continues to not only captivate his fans but also inspire them to follow in his footsteps. This time, away from the soccer field, the Al Nassr star has set a new Guinness World Record.

CR7 is making his last appearances in professional football, in this case delighting fans in the Saudi Pro League. Despite he radically changed European leagues for the Arabian culture, the Portuguese striker is still breaking nets and now he is one goal away from the 900 in his professional career.

Not only that: in his last match against Al Feiha, the former Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid scored another free kick goal, and now he is only one goal away from tying Lionel Messi’s free-kick goals (65).

All this statistics currently make Cristiano Ronaldo one of the most consistent football players in the world, and he is definitely trying to still improve his numbers. His records are not only being shattered in the world of soccer, as CR7 continues to make waves with every step he takes in his career.
