In Round 22 of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr faced Al Hazm away from home. Cristiano Ronaldo found the net in the first half, opening his goal account for the 2026 calendar year.
Looking back at the timeline, Ronaldo’s first calendar-year goal dates back to October 7, 2002: the 17-year-old scored his first official senior goal for Sporting CP.
This means that from 2002 to 2026, he has scored in 25 consecutive calendar years – a quarter-century of extraordinary consistency.
