Ronaldo wins Saudi Player of the Month after recording 64th career hat-trick on Saturday

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make waves in the Saudi Pro League, winning the Player of the Month award for March.

Recall the 39-year-old star scored a historic hat-trick during Al Nassr’s 5-1 win over Al Tai on Saturday.

Ronaldo’s clinical strikes, including a half-volley and a header, took his goal tally to 33 in all competitions this season.

In March alone, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid legend found the back of the net four times across three outings.

His latest feat extends his streak of recording at least a hat-trick in each of the last 15 calendar years, bringing his career total to 64 hat-tricks.

Ronaldo now has a total of 882 goals in all competitions, and still moving on.

While his individual performance has received accolades, Ronaldo faces a challenging title race with Al Nassr, as leaders Al Hilal maintain a 12-point lead in the league standings.
