"I don't chase records, records follow me." This is the content of Ronaldo's post after celebrating his Saudi league goal record, which is domineering. Although he is 39 years old, the "president" has been perfect in this past season, scoring 50 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions, including 35 goals in 31 league appearances, and you can't ask him to do better.

In the early morning of the 28th, the Saudi league ended the 34th round and the final round of competition, Riyadh won 4-2 Nick Jeddah United, Ronaldo scored twice in this game, increasing his personal league goals to 35, he also broke the league's single-season goal record, and was successfully crowned the Golden Boot. The stats show that Ronaldo also became the first player in history to win the Golden Boot in all four top leagues. In addition to this trophy, he has won one Premier League Golden Boot (2007/08), three La Liga Golden Boots (2010/11, 2013/14, 2014/15) and a Serie A Golden Boot (2020/21).

On the one hand, everyone is looking forward to how the "president" can perform when he comes to play in Asia for the first time, and on the other hand, he also hopes that he can continue his top performance in Europe for many years. It can be said that Ronaldo's performance last season was not particularly outstanding, after all, with his ability, the data of 14 goals in 19 games is at most only qualified in the eyes of most people, not amazing.

However, this season, Ronaldo has once again impressed everyone. At the age of 39, he still maintains such a high attendance rate, which is not easy in itself, compared to other big-name stars who come to Saudi Arabia to pan for gold, either they are not adaptable, or they give up halfway, Ronaldo has made a total of 50 appearances for the team this season, this number alone is beyond the reach of many people, not to mention that he scored 35 goals in the league, which is enough to show that the professional attitude and ethics of the "president" are still the top in the world.

Because of his excellent performance, Riyadh is currently hoping to extend his contract for another year. According to reports, the club plans to discuss a contract extension with Cristiano Ronaldo this summer. Ronaldo's current contract runs until 2025, but both Riyadh Victory and the Saudi Pro League want Ronaldo to sign a new contract. Broadcasters are also hoping that Ronaldo will stay in the squad for the 2025-26 season, which falls under the new TV rights cycle. It is understood that Ronaldo himself is actually willing to play for an extra year so that he can continue his career after his 41st birthday.
