Ronaldo Saudi scoring record shows goals against 23 of 24 Saudi Pro League opponents, with Al-Batin the only side yet to concede to him

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Al-Nassr captain and Portugal forward, has reportedly scored against 23 of the 24 Saudi Pro League teams he has faced since moving to Saudi Arabia, with Al-Batin standing as the only club to have kept the five-time Ballon d’Or winner off the scoresheet.

The statistic, reported by Planet Football on Sunday, 9 August 2026, highlights the remarkable consistency Ronaldo has maintained since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023.

At 41, Ronaldo remains one of the competition’s most prolific forwards. The supplied report credits him with 102 Saudi Pro League goals in 107 appearances, while his overall Al-Nassr record stands at 123 goals in 142 matches across all competitions.

His record against individual opponents is particularly striking.

Al-Wehda have conceded 10 goals to Ronaldo in five league meetings, making them his most productive Saudi victim. Al-Fateh and Damac have each conceded nine, while Al-Okhdood have allowed seven.

Even several of Saudi Arabia’s biggest clubs have struggled to contain him.

Ronaldo has scored six times in six league appearances against Al-Ittihad, four times in six meetings with Al-Ahli and three times in seven against Al-Hilal.

Only Al-Batin have escaped that remarkable run.

Ronaldo faced Al-Batin during his first Saudi season, when Al-Nassr secured a 3-1 victory. Despite the team’s win, Ronaldo failed to find the net in what was only his sixth Saudi Pro League appearance.

Al-Batin were relegated at the end of that campaign and have not returned to the Saudi top flight since, leaving the club as a curious footnote in Ronaldo’s otherwise extensive scoring record.

The contrast is striking. While Ronaldo has repeatedly found ways through established Saudi sides, Al-Batin managed to leave him without a league goal from their meeting.

The Saudi move initially came after a difficult final period at Manchester United and a disappointing 2022 World Cup campaign with Portugal.

Since then, Ronaldo has rebuilt his goalscoring narrative in the Gulf, winning two Saudi Pro League Golden Boots and establishing himself as a defining figure in the competition.

His influence has also continued as Al-Nassr enter a new era.

Ange Postecoglou replaced Jorge Jesus as Al-Nassr manager in July after Jesus guided the Riyadh club to its first Saudi Pro League title in seven years. Postecoglou signed a two-year contract and will oversee the club’s title defence.

The new manager arrives with an attacking philosophy and a significant task: maintaining the standards established during a championship-winning campaign while managing a squad built around one of football’s most recognisable stars.

The 2026-27 Saudi Pro League season is scheduled to begin on 13 August, giving Ronaldo another opportunity to add to an already remarkable record.

Two newly promoted sides, Al-Faisaly and Al-Diriyah, will also provide new opposition during the campaign. For Ronaldo, both represent fresh opportunities to extend his extraordinary scoring record across the Saudi top flight.

Yet Al-Batin’s place in that story remains distinctive.

For all the goals, trophies and individual records Ronaldo has accumulated since arriving in Saudi Arabia, one opponent has so far managed something 23 others could not: keeping the Portuguese forward from scoring in a Saudi Pro League meeting.
