Since his debut on the football field in August 2002, we have seen Cristiano Ronaldo come day in and day out and shatter some or the other football record. Even today, at the age of 39 years, when a lot of people have ruled him out and said that he does not have it in him anymore, the legend of the game has continued business as usual and is still breaking records comfortably.
Yesterday, playing for Al-Nassr in Riyadh against Al-Ittihad, he scored a brilliant brace and broke the record for being the highest goal scorer in one season in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo scored a total of 35 goals in the whole season and was at his fluent best throughout. As he broke this record, another one followed, as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner became the first player ever to be the highest goal scorer in a single season in four different leagues.

Prior to reaching this milestone in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo had achieved this record in La Liga (Spain), the Premier League (England), and Serie A (Italy). Let’s have a look at his record in these leagues individually.
La Liga (Spain)
In the 2014–15 season in La Liga, Ronaldo scored the most goals and won the Golden Boot award for the year. He scored a total of 48 goals while playing for Real Madrid and brought glory to the club. He did the same two more times in La Liga, once in 2010-11 (40 goals) and 2013-14 (31 goals).
Premier League (England)
Playing for Manchester United in the 2007–08 season in the Premier League, Cristiano Ronaldo got the first big achievement of his career when he won the Golden Boot Award for scoring 31 goals in the season and also taking his team to the Premier League title victory.
Serie A (Italy)
Proud to make history as the first top scorer in 4 countries 🏴 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇸🇦 A huge thank you to all the clubs, teammates and staff who helped me along the way. pic.twitter.com/wmimyDrRP2

When he was playing in the Serie A for Juventus, the footballing sensation won the highest goal-scorer of the season award once again in a different league as he scored 29 goals in the 2020–21 season, beating Romelu Lukaku to the achievement.
