Al Nasr star Ronaldo remains Champions League top scorer
Al-Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, are said to be receiving an invitation to play in the 2024-25 Champions League.
Since its inception three decades ago, the UEFA Champions League has only been participated by UEFA-affiliated clubs. In view of the club’s reputation in Europe, it is now planned to invite the Saudi Professional League team Al-Nassr to participate in next year’s event.
That’s largely thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed with the team as a free agent in December. Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in the Champions League with 140 goals.
Ronaldo, 38, is one of the greatest players in football history and continues to mature like a fine wine after a brilliant start to the season.
