Ronaldo Claims ‘This Is Only the Beginning’ As He Closes In on Messi’s Record

Cristiano Ronaldo Declares ‘This Is Just the Beginning’ After Leading Al Nassr to 4-1 Victory

Former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has declared that “this is just the beginning” following his standout performance in Al Nassr’s 4-1 league win over Al-Feiha on Tuesday.

The 39-year-old football icon played a crucial role, contributing a goal and an assist. He set up Talisca’s opening goal at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraydah within the first five minutes and scored himself later in the match.

Ronaldo is now just one goal away from equaling Lionel Messi’s record after netting his first free-kick of the season during stoppage time. This goal marked his 64th free-kick for club and country, leaving him only one behind Messi. It also brought his career tally to 899 goals across all clubs and international appearances.

In the match, Marcelo Brozovic added another goal for Al Nassr in the 85th minute. Although Al-Feiha managed to score once, Talisca struck again in stoppage time to seal the victory with a three-goal lead.

Despite the win, Ronaldo and his team trail surprise leaders Al-Qadisiyah by two points.

Following the game, Ronaldo took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate, saying, “This is only the beginning! Let’s go @AlNassrFC!”
