The 39-year-old forward put his right foot into the far corner to open the scoring for Al Nassr in the 5th minute. Just 7 minutes later, he jumped high and headed the ball into the net for rival Al Wehda.
The Portuguese superstar completed his hat-trick with a header in the 52nd minute, helping Al Nassr crush the rival 6-0.
“Cristiano Ronaldo’s perfect hat-trick,” headlined a Saudi media outlet and commented: “The 39-year-old striker scored 3 goals with both his left foot, his right foot and his head.”
This is the tenth time he has scored a perfect hat-trick in his career, while superstar Lionel Messi has never done so even once.
“It feels great,” the Portuguese superstar wrote on social media after the May 5 victory: “Thank you Al Nassr team and fans.”
The hat-trick also helped the 5-time Ballon d’Or owner achieve a series of impressive milestones. Statistics show that this is his third hat-trick in just 35 days, despite being suspended for 2 games.
In total, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus star scored 66 hat-tricks in his career.
With the last 3 goals, this forward raised the historical record to 890 goals in 1,220 games.
Ronaldo has scored 59 goals in 46 games for Al Nassr in all competitions this season, including 47 goals and 12 assists.
The 1985-born superstar leads the Saudi Pro League top scorer race with 32 goals, 9 goals ahead of the player behind Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Although Ronaldo personally did extraordinary things, Al Nassr’s chances of winning the Saudi Pro League have all but disappeared.
They are nine points behind the first team, Al Hilal, with only four games left to play. However, Ronaldo and his teammates have a chance to lift the Copa del Rey championship when they face Al Hilal in the final on May 31.
