Ronaldo's goal tally showcases his longevity and consistency in professional football since 2002.
The comparison with other top players highlights the competitive nature of scoring in football, particularly from penalties.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned Portuguese striker for Saudi club Al-Nassr, has reached a remarkable milestone in his career by scoring his 913th goal, which includes 168 penalties. Despite criticisms and the nickname 'Penaldo' attributed to him, statistics reveal that his penalty kick scoring percentage stands at 18.4%, placing him third among the top ten players in this category. This achievement comes after his recent performance in the AFC Champions League against Al-Gharafa, where he contributed to his team's 3-1 victory. The analysis of penalty scoring percentages shows that Brazilian Neymar leads with 19.8%, followed closely by English striker Harry Kane at 19.1%. Other notable players include Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah, with lower penalty percentages of 13% and 12.2%, respectively. These statistics suggest that while Ronaldo's penalty goals are significant, they constitute a smaller portion of his overall scoring prowess, reinforcing his status as an extraordinary goal scorer in football history.
