<p>Ronaldo scored the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-we-do-it-cristiano-ronaldo-hat-trick-al-nassr-saudi-pro-league/blt9d66866b4be6b443" target="_blank">64th hat-trick of his incredible career on Saturday as Al-Nassr beat Al-Tai 5-1</a> in the Saudi Pro League. His latest treble puts him well clear of his biggest rival when it comes to scoring hat-tricks in the latter stages of a player's career. Ronaldo has now scored 34 hat-tricks since he celebrated his 30th birthday which is 28 more than Messi has managed since hitting the milestone, according to <a href="https://talksport.com/football/1808582/cristiano-ronaldo-hat-trick-al-nassr/" target="_blank"><em>talkSPORT</em></a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ronaldo's latest strikes mean he's now scored 882 times in his career. The Portugese superstar has previously set an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/portugal-al-nassr-cristiano-ronaldo-1000-goal-slovakia/blt48e326d63b8a8d89" target="_blank">ambitious target of scoring 1,000 goals</a> before he finally hangs up his boots. Ronaldo will turn 40 in 2025 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-cristiano-ronaldo-retirement-date-lionel-messi-rivalry-al-nassr-portugal-plans/blt65115e039e2ce75d#csf55ea5352728e26a" target="_blank">but has been tipped to continue playing until 2027</a> - giving him plenty of time to reach his target.</p>

He posted a series of pictures from the game on X with the message: "This is how we do it. Amazing victory and another hat-trick!"</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is how we do it ✋🏽 Amazing victory and another hat-trick! <a href="https://t.co/3lt2PHO5Lp">pic.twitter.com/3lt2PHO5Lp</a></p>— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) <a href="https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/1774189005392814293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2024</a></blockquote>
