Cristiano Ronaldo, the man who has won it all in Europe, is still chasing continental crowns, even in the AFC Champions League.
The legendary forward, now leading the line for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, says that any form of Champions League competition is “always special” to him.
The five-time UEFA Champions League winner has been smashing records throughout his career with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.
And even though he’s no longer competing in Europe, his thirst for trophies hasn’t faded. Now plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo’s hunger for success is as strong as ever.
“It’s a Champions League game, so it’s always special” – Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese icon added to his growing tally in the AFC Champions League, scoring the match-winner against Al Rayyan.
Speaking to Al-Nassr’s official media, Ronaldo was full of pride after the win: “It’s a Champions League game, so it’s always special. I think the team played very well. We created so many opportunities. We didn’t concede too many, and we deserved to win.”

At 39, most players would be winding down their careers, but not CR7. He bagged 50 goals for Al-Nassr last season and is already up to seven in just eight appearances this term. Winning the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023 added another feather to his already crowded cap, but Ronaldo wants more silverware before he hangs up his boots.
With rumors swirling about his future as his contract with Al-Nassr runs down, Ronaldo is laser-focused on one goal—reaching the magical 1,000-goal milestone. Knowing his relentless drive, don’t be surprised if he achieves it. The Ronaldo show is far from over!
