The milestone did little to console the Portuguese star as his side lost out on silverware

Al-Ahli emerged from the match as winners following a penalty shoot-out, extending Ronaldo’s wait for silverware with the club.

But despite the frustrating result, the living legend did bag himself an unprecedented record.

He dispatched the game’s opening goal in the form of a 41st-minute penalty.

This goal was his hundredth with the club since joining from Manchester United at the start of 2023.

This made the Portuguese star the first player in the history of professional football to notch 100 goals for four different clubs.
