Cristiano Ronaldo is truly outstanding in Saudi Arabia as the Portuguese superstar scored a super hat-trick against Al Wehda in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday, February 9.
It was the 61st hat-trick in the glorious career of the legendary striker. Ronaldo has now scored 31 hat-tricks since turning 30.
After Ronaldo’s latest heroics, his old tweet has resurfaced on social media. After scoring his 60th hat-trick against Norwich City last year, he took to Twitter to say it was time to break the symmetry. Here is what the former Manchester United striker wrote:
“30 hat-tricks before 30 and 30 hat-tricks after 30. Time to tip the scales!”

He managed to keep his word. Ronaldo’s incredible performance against Al Wehda helped Rudi Garcia’s side to a 4-0 victory.
The French coach reacted to Ronaldo’s performance, telling the media after the game (via Al-Riyadiah):
“Ronaldo has reached a great level of homogeneity and harmony with his teammates. Over time, his teammates understood what he wanted and when to score. I think it was a good night for Cristiano Ronaldo because he scored four goals.”
Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored five goals in four games for Al-Nassr. While he failed to score in the first two games for the club. The 38-year-old has already made up for what he missed.
Cristiano Ronaldo said he will try to break records in Al-Nassr
After joining Al-Nassr as a free agent last year, the Portuguese superstar has vowed to break records for his new club. He told the media after his move to the club from Saudi Arabia (via the Mirror):
“I broke all the records there (in Europe) and I want to break a few records here, I come here to win, to play, to enjoy, to be part of the success of the country and the culture of the country.”
Ronaldo’s latest hat-trick should give the player a much-needed confidence boost. Al-Nassr, meanwhile, will return to action on February 17 as they host Al-Tawuoon.
