Saudi Arabia’s football scene came into the spotlight again after Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo said it was “a great feeling” to have scored all of Al Nassr's goals in a 4-0 match against host Al Wehda in the Saudi league on Thursday to reach the career milestone of 500 club goals.

The Portugal international, who celebrated his 38th birthday on Sunday, now has 503 goals scored for five different teams stretched across five leagues. The five-times Ballon D’Or winner signed a 2-1/2 year deal with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr in December. He was later appointed captain of the team. Ronaldo arrived in Riyadh in January and was officially welcomed into Al Nassr in a massive ceremony that was held upon his arrival with his family by his side.
