Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 850th career goal in big Al-Nassr win

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 850th career goal as Al Nassr won 5-1 at Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday.

Ronaldo scored his sixth goal in his last three games and claimed two assists as Al-Nassr recorded a third straight league victory. Sadio Mane was also on the scoresheet.

'Another great team performance! We keep improving. Let's go @AlNassrFC. 850 career goals and still counting!' the 38-year-old Ronaldo posted on social media.
