On Saturday, Ronaldo marked his 64th career hat-trιϲk in remarkable fashion as Al-Nassr secured a 5-1 victory against Al-Tai in the Saudi Pro League. This latest achievement significantly extends his lead over his primary competitor in terms of hat-trιϲk goals during the later stages of their careers. Ronaldo has amassed a total of 34 hat-tricks since turning 30, which is 28 more than Messi has achieved since reaching the same milestone, as reported by talkSPORT.

With his recent goals, Ronaldo has now tallied 882 career goals. The Portuguese sensation has set a lofty objective of reaching 1,000 goals before retiring from the sport. Despite turning 40 in 2025, Ronaldo is expected to continue playing until 2027, affording him ample opportunity to achieve his goal.

Ronaldo was quick to celebrate his latest treble on social media. He posted a series of pictures from the game on X with the message: “This is how we do it. Amazing victory and another hat-trιϲk!”
