The end of Cristiano Ronaldo's legendary streak! For the first time since 2009, the Portuguese star finishes a year without a hat-trick
Cristiano Ronaldo played his final match of 2025, marking the end of an incredible achievement he had maintained for 16 consecutive years.
Details: Cristiano Ronaldo wrapped up 2025 without scoring a single hat-trick, the first time since 2009 that the Portuguese icon failed to net three goals in a single match over a calendar year.
Previously, Ronaldo had scored at least one hat-trick every year from 2010 to 2024—a remarkable run that lasted 15 years straight. Still, the Portuguese legend keeps finding the net, closing out the year with a goal against Al-Ettifaq.
Despite goals from Ronaldo and Félix, Al-Nassr couldn't secure a win over Al-Ettifaq, with the match ending in a 2-2 draw. Georginio Wijnaldum was the hero for Al-Ettifaq, netting a brace.
Reminder: Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 957th goal of his illustrious career.
