International Champions Cup
The Portuguese forward needed only 20 minutes to find the net, but the significance of the goal went far beyond the scoreline. Cristiano Ronaldo has opened the new campaign with another milestone that adds to an already extraordinary career, scoring in Al-Nassr’s convincing 4-0 victory over Al-Riyadh on Friday. The Portuguese forward needed only 20 minutes to find the net, but the significance of the goal went far beyond the scoreline. At 41, Ronaldo continues to produce numbers that would be remarkable for a player in his prime. His latest strike moved his career tally to 977 goals and added another extraordinary chapter to a run that began more than two decades ago. The superstar veteran made his first competitive appearance of the 2026-27 season against Al-Riyadh and quickly reminded everyone why he remains one of soccer’s most prolific scorers. Coming off the bench, the Portuguese needed just 20 minutes to get on the scoresheet as Al-Nassr secured its second consecutive Saudi Pro League victory. The goal came during a dominant performance from Ange Postecoglou‘s players, who eventually completed a 4-0 victory. For Ronaldo, however, the personal significance of the strike was arguably even greater than the result, as it continued a scoring run that has stretched across an astonishing portion of his career. WHAT A FINISH FROM RONALDO 🐐🟡 pic.twitter.com/WjMYKRkTsK— All About SPL 🔔 🇸🇦 (@Saudifutbol) August 21, 2026 L’Équipe highlighted that Ronaldo had scored for the 25th consecutive season, while ESPN also confirmed that the 2026-27 campaign represents his 25th professional season since his breakthrough at Sporting CP. L’Équipe also reported that the goal was Ronaldo’s 977th career strike. The historic record finally revealed That latest goal means Ronaldo has become the first player in history to score in 25 consecutive seasons. His remarkable streak began during the 2002-03 season with Sporting CP, when he scored his first professional goals, and it has continued through every chapter of his career. The achievement moves Ronaldo beyond another legendary goalscorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish legend had previously held the record after scoring in 24 consecutive seasons, from 1999-2000 through 2022-23. AC Milan Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks on before the Serie A match. Ronaldo’s sequence has survived several major changes in his career, from Sporting CP to Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus before his move to Al-Nassr. The fact that the streak has remained intact across different leagues, clubs and generations is what makes the milestone particularly remarkable. His first professional goal came for Sporting CP on October 7, 2002, and more than 24 years later, he is still adding to the sequence. AS recalled how that first strike helped begin what would eventually become one of the most decorated and prolific careers soccer has ever seen. Another milestone as Ronaldo chases 1,000 goals The timing of the record is also significant because Ronaldo is approaching another potentially historic landmark. His goal against Al-Riyadh took his career total to 977, leaving him only 23 goals short of 1,000. Cristiano Ronaldo of team Al Nassr FC celebrates scoring Ronaldo has previously suggested that the 2026-27 season could be his final campaign, meaning the pursuit of four figures has taken on even greater importance. The Portuguese captain has repeatedly spoken about his desire to reach the milestone, and every goal now brings him closer.
After spending 44 days on the sidelines, the American attacker is back among his teammates, although there is still some uncertainty over whether he will be involved this weekend. Christian Pulisic has taken a major step toward returning to competitive action for Milan, rejoining full group training just days before the club opens its Serie A campaign against Torino. After spending 44 days on the sidelines, the American attacker is back among his teammates, although there is still some uncertainty over whether he will be involved this weekend. The timing is encouraging for the Rossoneri, particularly after a difficult pre-season in which several important players have been unavailable. Pulisic’s return gives the club another attacking option, but one important question remains before the trip to Turin. According to MilanNews, Pulisic has returned to full team training at Milanello, with his comeback coming only two days before the Serie A opener. The American has recovered from the injury he sustained during last month’s Club World Cup, when he suffered a microfracture and bone oedema in the tibia and fibula of his right leg. The American winger had originally been expected to miss around four to six weeks, making his return to group work a significant milestone. After 44 days away from the squad, the 27-year-old is now back training alongside his teammates, putting him firmly on course to return to match action. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan warms up before the Serie A match. The images from training also offered further encouragement, with Pulisic pictured smiling alongside teammates during a rainy session. His presence suggests that his recovery has progressed well enough for him to resume normal work with the group rather than continuing on an individual rehabilitation program. Milan faces huge decision over Torino Despite the positive development, Pulisic’s availability for the season opener is still uncertain. The factor now sitting between his return to training and a place in the squad is whether Ruben Amorim believes he is ready to be involved in a competitive match so soon after his injury. MilanNews adds that the decision will be made before the match, meaning Pulisic could still have a chance of traveling with the team. However, given the nature of his injury and the length of his absence, the team will have to carefully weigh the benefits of an early return against the risk of pushing him too quickly. Even a limited appearance could be useful if the coaching staff decides that he is ready. A 20-to-30-minute cameo from the bench could give Pulisic valuable minutes while allowing Milan to avoid placing too much physical demand on him immediately. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan. Return that could come at the perfect time Even if Pulisic does not make the squad against the Turin side, his return to full training means the wait for his comeback is almost over. He should be in a much stronger position to feature in Milan’s following match at San Siro, provided he continues to respond well to the increased workload. There had previously been reports that Pulisic could return around August 28, but his return to group training has accelerated hopes that he can contribute earlier. Milan will have no reason to rush him, especially with a long Serie A campaign ahead.
