6:19pm, 24 August 2025Football

The Saudi Super Cup final staged a storm of ups and downs. Although Ronaldo scored a goal at the age of 40, he scored the 100th official goal in his personal Riyadh victory career, he failed to help the team win the championship trophy. After experiencing a 2-2 fierce battle in regular time and a penalty shootout of Jeddah 3-5 defeat, Ronaldo and Riyadh won the bitter fruit of losing the final again. In the 41st minute of the 41st minute of the 100-goal milestone, Ronaldo took the penalty kick and broke the deadlock for Riyadh's victory. This goal is of great significance - since joining in January 2023, Ronaldo has scored 100 goals for the team, and the victory of Riyadh has become the fourth club in his career to reach a 100-goal milestone.

The previous legendary record has long been engraved with football history:

· Manchester United: 145 goals in 346 games

· Real Madrid: 438 games 450 goals

· Juventus: 134 games 101 goals

· Portugal national team: 221 games 138 goals

Even though he was 40 years old, Ronaldo still proved his competitiveness at the top with his goals.

The joy of victory was fleeting, and the finals were hard to break, however, the joy of personal milestones was soon covered by the shadow of the team's loss. Although Ronaldo calmly made a penalty in the penalty shootout, his teammate Haybarri's loss point and Galeno's winning blow made Riyadh win eventually lose with a total score of 5-7. The

camera captures the scene of Ronaldo kneeling on his knees and praying in the penalty shootout, but fate failed to favor the legend again. This is the fourth final he experienced during his victory in Riyadh, with only 1 win and 3 losses:

· August 2023: Victory in the Al Arab Championship Final in Li Yadh Crescent

· June 2024: Saudi Arabia lost to Riyadh Crescent

· August 2024: Saudi Arabia lost to Riyadh Crescent

· August 2025: The Saudi Arabia lost to Jeddah Nationals in the final in the final, which became an unavoidable regret in Ronaldo's Saudi career. The hero is not old, but the journey continues

Although he misses the championship, Ronaldo's performance is still worthy of admiration. From Manchester United, Real Madrid to Juventus, to today's victory in Riyadh, he has always used goals as language to write an immortal chapter in football history. The Saudi stadium is not the "retirement place" that many people imagine, and Ronaldo proves that he is still the stage for him to fight on the battlefield with 100 goals in Riyadh.

For fans, every moment of witnessing the legend is precious. After 100 goals, what is Ronaldo's next milestone? Perhaps the answer is still in his running pace.

Hot discussion after the game:

"Royce's personal ability is unquestionable, but football is a team sport after all."

"At the age of 40, it is the only one in history!"

"The victory of Riyadh still needs to improve stability at critical moments."
