Cristiano Ronaldo may be 41, but he's showing no signs of slowing down in his pursuit of the 1,000-goal career milestone. The Portuguese legend took his tally up to 968 (or 962 - depending on whom you ask) in the last outing and will look to add to that when his Al Nassr team take on Al Ettifaq in Riyadh today (April 15).
Alongside his push toward the 1000-goal milestone, Ronaldo is also chasing a first Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr, as the club looks to end a seven-year wait for the crown.
With just six matches remaining and a five-point lead at the top, every fixture carries added weight. Al Nassr sit on 73 points and enter this contest on the back of a record-setting 14-match winning streak under Jorge Jesus.
Their latest outing, a 2-0 win over Al-Akhdoud, set a new record for the Riyadh-based side, eclipsing their previous run of 13 straight wins in the 2013-14 season.
