Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the football world by becoming the first player to score 800 club goals despite being 40 years old! He added another one in Al-Nassr's 3-2 loss to Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League recently.
Despite the defeat, this is a big deal. Fans are wondering what else is left for him to achieve in this lifetime.
Cristiano Ronaldo's historic 800-goal milestone
Cristiano Ronaldo reached 800 club goals in Al-Nassr's last Saudi Pro League game against Al-Fateh on May 26, 2025. Despite the 3-2 loss, he scored a goal. He scored 5 for Sporting CP, 145 for Manchester United, 450 for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus, and 99 for Al-Nassr. Messi has 753 goals, but is still behind him.
At 40, Ronaldo is scoring well. He won the Saudi League top scorer award again with 25 goals this season after 35 last season.
But Al-Nassr finished 3rd, 13 points behind Al-Ittihad and missed the AFC Champions League. This made Ronaldo's significant achievement feel less happy. His remarkable career keeps inspiring fans and proves he's one of the greatest footballers ever. Fans can't wait to see what he does next. His contract is about to expire next month, and his fans are still unsure about his next venture.
Will he feature in the much-anticipated FIFA Club World Cup? We have to wait.

Cristiano Ronaldo's record-breaking journey continues
Ronaldo's 800 club goals show he's the best footballer, with no one matching his record. His goals at five clubs, including 450 at Real Madrid, prove his incredible talent. Even Lionel Messi, with 753 goals, hasn't reached this level. Ronaldo has won the Saudi League top scorer award again, earning it after scoring 25 goals in 2022-23 and 35 goals in the previous season.
Although his team lost to Al-Fateh and did not get into the AFC Champions League, Ronaldo still has incredible energy at 40. He's now aiming for 1,000 career goals, needing just 66 more. His X post after the game, saying,
"This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all,'
hints he might leave Al-Nassr as his contract ends in June 2025.

IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: Yuzvendra Chahal returns for PBKS, Reece Topley debuts for MI
Yuzvendra Chahal has returned for the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Sunday, June 1. MI decided to hand Reece Topley a debut for the franchise as Richard Gleeson missed the game due to an injury. Chahal has missed the last few games for PBKS due to a wrist injury. Ahead of the Qualifier 1, the leg-spinner was seen doing some practice but wasn't part of the team that lost to RCB. Chahal has picked up 14 wickets in 12 matches this season. This was the only change that Punjab made from their loss to RCB in Qualifier 1. Shreyas Iyer had won the toss on the day and opted to field first. advertisementMumbai had to bring in Topley as Gleeson had suffered a niggle during the win in the Eliminator over GT a few days ago. The England pacer was unable to complete the final over in the match against GT. Hardik Pandya confirmed at the toss that Gleeson is recovering and Topley will come in his place. PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 UpdatesTopley has played 5 matches in the IPL and has picked up 5 wickets. The left-arm pacer was part of RCB in the 2023 and 2024 seasons and was bought by MI in the IPL 2025 auction for Rs. 75 Lakhs.

After Karun Nair, Another Delhi Capitals Star Shines In England; Check Details
Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Ashutosh Sharma made an emphatic start to his stint in English club cricket, scoring a century off just 70 balls on debut for Wigan Cricket Club in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition. The match took place on Saturday against Formby CC, under the structure of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Premier League. Walking in at a precarious 17/3 in 9.5 overs, Ashutosh played a counter-attacking knock and built a 153-run partnership with opener Aveen Dalugod. He reached his hundred in 73 balls, striking eight fours and six sixes at a strike rate of 136.99, as reported by Wisden. His dismissal triggered a mini-collapse, with Wigan sliding from 170/3 to 195/7 after 41 overs. Interestingly, Ashutosh had arrived in the UK early on the same morning, showing no signs of fatigue as he adapted instantly to the conditions. Ashutosh rose to prominence during the IPL 2024 season with Punjab Kings (PBKS), where he scored 189 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 167.25, including a match-winning fifty. His performances earned him a move to Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2025, where he contributed 204 runs in nine innings, averaging 29.14 with a strike rate of 160.62, and notched up another vital fifty against Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG). Despite his efforts, DC failed to reach the playoffs, finishing fifth on the points table with seven wins, six losses, and one no-result. While Ashutosh is yet to register a century in professional white-ball cricket, his overall stats are promising. In 14 List A matches, he has scored 297 runs at an average of 22.84, with a top score of 75. In 44 T20s, he has accumulated 976 runs in 37 innings at an average of 32.53, with a blistering strike rate of 177.45, including eight half-centuries and a best score of 84. Ashutosh's explosive debut in England further highlights his potential as a dynamic batter in all formats.
