Cristiano Ronaldo could make history by winning the Golden Boot for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of making history as the first player ever to win the Golden Boot across four different leagues.

The Portuguese superstar showcased his prowess by netting a hat-trick in Al-Nassr's commanding 5-1 victory over Al Taee on Saturday, elevating his season tally to 26 goals in just 23 Saudi Pro League appearances.

With nine league fixtures remaining, Ronaldo currently leads the race for the Saudi Pro League's top scorer, four goals clear of closest challenger Aleksandar Mitrovic.

With the former Fulham striker sidelined for up to six weeks due to a hamstring injury announced on Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo's path to claiming the Pro League's Golden Boot seems nearly assured.

Should he achieve this feat, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star would etch his name in history as the first player to lead the goalscoring charts across four distinct divisions.

Ronaldo won the Golden Boot in England with Manchester United, in Spain with Real Madrid, and in Italy with Juventus.
