Cristiano Ronaldo has reached another unique milestone in his 23-year career in professional football. The Portuguese superstar made the day memorable by scoring a brace in his 1,300th match. Al Nasr continued its winning streak by defeating Al Okhdud 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League with his brilliant performance.

​Milestone night

​Ronaldo made history as soon as he took to the field at home on Saturday night. Only two goalkeepers had previously achieved the feat of playing 1,300 matches in competitive football—England’s Peter Shilton (1,390 matches) and Brazil’s Fabio (1,407 matches). Ronaldo now holds the record for most matches played as an outfield player.
