Cristiano Ronaldo bagged another treble in an eight-goal thriller, edging closer to the fabled 1,000-goal mark.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still making history. He scored the 67th hat-trick of his career as Al-Nassr beat Al-Kholood 5-3 in a wild Saudi Pro League contest.
The match was end-to-end, with eight goals and defenders left chasing shadows. Al-Kholood refused to go quietly, but whenever the game threatened to turn, Ronaldo was on hand to finish and restore Al-Nassr's control.
The treble adds to a career tally that few players in the sport's history can match, and it pushes the Portuguese superstar closer to the 1,000-goal milestone he has openly chased. At an age when most forwards have long since hung up their boots, he is still hunting goals with the same appetite.
For Al-Nassr, the three points were just as important as the individual milestone. Ronaldo's finishing keeps them firmly in the conversation in the Saudi Pro League, and his next goal brings 1,000 a little closer.
