<p>Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record for the most goals in a Saudi Pro League season when he struck for the 34th and 35th time in Al Nassr&rsquo;s final game of the campaign.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t follow the records, the records follow me,&rdquo; the 39-year-old Portuguese forward tweeted afterwards.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star struck in first-half stoppage time and again in the 69th minute with a header as Al Nassr defeated Al Ittihad 4-2 at home on Monday. The previous record for most goals in a single season was the 34 scored by Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah in 2018-19. Al Nassr were already assured of a second-placed finish, coming a distant 14 points behind champions Al Hilal.</p>
<p>Ronaldo joined Riyadh-based Al Nassr in December 2022.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The mercurial striker, who led Portugal to victory at the 2016 Euros, has been selected for this year&rsquo;s edition in Germany next month. He is the most capped player in men&rsquo;s international football with 206 appearances and has scored a record 128 goals.&nbsp;</p>
