At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo has demonstrated remarkable skill in adapting his play to fit his physical capabilities, allowing him to enjoy a successful conclusion to his illustrious career.
In recent years, a significant part of Ronaldo’s scoring has occurred from the penalty spot, where he has taken on the role of primary penalty taker for Al Nassr. His impressive performances have contributed to setting a new record in the Saudi Pro League, achieving an incredible 35 goals in just 31 matches during the 2023/24 season.
This season, he continues to be a significant threat on the pitch, with several of his goals originating from penalties.
His most recent penalty goal against Al Orobah on October 5 highlighted his outstanding performance from the spot for Al Nassr, as CR7 remains a flawless 18-for-18 on penalties for the club.
Over the past two years, he has only missed one penalty, which occurred during a Euro 2024 match where he was stopped by goalkeeper Jan Oblak in a 3-0 victory against Serbia.
