Cristiano Ronaldo has surpassed yet another amazing milestone after scoring his 27th goal of the season for Al-Nassr on Monday.
In the Asian Champions League, Al-Nassr won 3-0 with ease, and the 40-year-old scored once more.
Ronaldo delivered his 927th goal of his career when he coolly scored from the penalty spot against Iranian team Esteghlal Tehran in the 27th minute.
Even while the Portuguese keeps putting up fantastic figures, another remarkable statistic has emerged that demonstrates his extraordinary effect in the second half of his career.

According to talkSPORT, Ronaldo has scored 464 goals since his 30th birthday in February 2015, which is more than the 463 goals he scored in his teens and twenties.
Ronaldo’s post-30 accomplishments are, to put it simply, remarkable, given that he spent a large portion of his 20s playing for Manchester United and Real Madrid, perhaps the pinnacle of his career.
Following a goalless first leg in the Iranian capital last week, his goal on Monday helped Al-Nassr secure their spot in the Asian Champions League quarterfinals.
Al-Nassr’s other two goals of the evening came from former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, who now has six goals in eight games since his January transfer.
Ronaldo, however, who is at the advanced age of 40 and within striking distance of 1,000 career goals, had the night.
As Al-Nassr get closer to a potential Champions League final, it seems his desire for trophies is just growing.
