"Who's counting?" - Cristiano Ronaldo makes social media post following 874th career goal in Al-Nassr's win over Al-Feiha
Cristiano Ronaldo shared a post on social media after scoring his 874th career goal in Al-Nassr's 1-0 win on Wednesday (February 14).
In his first competitive game of the year, the 39-year-old scored the only goal of the game in the 81st minute at Al-Feiha in the AFC Champions League Round of 16 first leg.
Having been out of action since the last few weeks - forcing the postponement of Al-Alami's two friendlies in China - and sitting out the 6-0 friendly win over Inter Miami, Ronaldo returned to action in the 2-0 defeat to Al-Hilal last week in the Riyadh Season Cup.
However, he returned to goalscoring ways against Al-Feiha, producing an opportunistic finish from inside the box and subsequently unleasing a new goal celebration.
It was his 874th goal for club and country, the most by any male player in history. Following his latest strike, the Portugal captain tweeted:
"Who's counting?"
It was also his 25th goal in 26 competitive outing of the season for his club side. That includes a league-leading 20 strikes in the league, where Luis Castro's side are second, behind runaway table-toppers Al-Hilal (53) after 19 games.
