Ronaldo becomes first player in the Football history to achieve unprecedented feat

NEW: Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player in football history to score in 25 consecutive league seasons, extending an unbroken streak dating back to 2002-03.

Twenty five league seasons in a row. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in every single one of them.

The streak starts in 2002 and 03, when a teenager at Sporting Lisbon first found the net. Think about what that year looked like. No iPhones, no streaming, Beckham still at Manchester United. And here he is, still doing it in Al Nassr yellow, forty one years old and celebrating like it's his first.

Nobody else in football history has done this. Not Messi, not anyone. Players who made their debut when this streak began have retired, become pundits, and in some cases become managers he's played against.

The man has outlasted four different decades of defenders across Portugal, England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia. Whatever you think of where he's playing now, twenty five straight seasons is a monument. And knowing him, he's already annoyed it isn't twenty six.
