Portugal and Al-Nassr icon Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that he does not care so much about individual records.

The 38-year-old is firing on all cylinders this calendar year with a total of 43 goals to his name.

However, the former Real Madrid star insisted that he is only interested in his team's performance.

Ronaldo scored twice in Al-Nassr's 4-3 win over Al-Duhail in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday.

The Portuguese legend said as quoted by Tribal Football: "I don't care so much about records, I'm just thinking about enjoying it for the moment. 

"Our team develops match by match. Our coach and the sporting staff are making a great effort to make Al Nassr the strongest team.

"The key to keep achieving records is that I have fun, and this is a beautiful thing in football and the secret behind my continuity.

"I am happy that I scored and performed well, but Cristiano is different from others. I work well, and ultimately what I achieve comes with the help of my colleagues and the sporting staff. Most importantly, I'm having fun at the moment and helping Al Nassr and the Portuguese national team." 

Ronaldo's current deal with Al-Nassr is valid until the summer of 2025.
