Saudi Pro League says Matchweek 13 will be rescheduled, with replacement dates to follow after a club review.
Our take: Ronaldo needs 15 more goals in our ledger, compared with 63 for Messi. With the league calendar being revised, the Race to 1,000 simulator’s constant scoring pace should be read as a scenario rather than a fixture-based finish date.

The Saudi Pro League has confirmed that Matchweek 13 of its 2026/27 season will be rescheduled. The announcement is dated 3 November and gives no replacement dates.
The league links the change to the postponement of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and a wider review of the domestic calendar. It says clubs will be consulted at a workshop before an updated programme is agreed.
For readers following Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, the useful distinction is between a postponed league round and a newly confirmed fixture. This statement supplies neither a revised kick-off nor confirmation that Ronaldo will play.
Our upcoming calendar therefore does not turn an older listing into a confirmed appointment. Completed goals remain in the shared ledger; future scoring in the Race to 1,000 simulator still depends on the assumptions a reader chooses.

FIFPRO lists both forwards among its finalists; the men’s team will be revealed on 9 November.
Our take: Across FIFPRO’s stated performance window, our senior-goal ledger records 45 for Messi and 38 for Ronaldo. That dated comparison is more relevant here than today’s career totals, although goals alone do not decide a player-voted team.

Our take: Our 2026 MLS archive records 26 goals and 13 final-touch assists for Messi; that assist definition excludes the secondary credits MLS can award.
