Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 50th goal in 2023 as Al-Nassr beat rivals Al-Shabab 5-2 to reach the semi-finals of the Saudi King Cup.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward got his side’s fourth in the second half.
That took his tally for the current season to 26 goals, with 16 of those coming in 15 Saudi Pro League games.
Three days ago, Ronaldo played the 1200th professional match of his career in a 4-1 win against Al-Riyadh.
He scored one goal and got an assist in that game.
Al-Nassr sit second in the Saudi Pro League table but are seven points behind Al-Hilal.
Winning the King Cup seals qualification for the Asian Champions League, although a top-three league finish would be enough to secure a place.
