Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr in January 2023 after stints with Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, showcased his exceptional talent throughout the season. Cristiano Ronaldo delivered an outstanding performance in Al Nassr’s final game of the Saudi Pro League season, scoring two goals in a 4-2 win against Al Ittihad. This achievement not only helped his team finish the season on a high note but also set a new league record for most goals scored in a single season with 35.
The Portuguese star scored his first goal just before halftime, expertly controlling a long pass from Mohammed Al-Fatil and netting it. His second goal, a powerful header from a Marcelo Brozovic corner, came in the 69th minute, breaking Hamdallah’s previous record. Ronaldo’s goals contributed to Al Nassr’s dominant performance, with additional goals from Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Meshari Al-Nemer securing the win.
Despite having two goals disallowed for offside, Ronaldo’s determination and skill were evident throughout the match. His performance ensured Al Nassr ended the season on a triumphant note.
Al Ittihad faced a significant challenge when defender Suwailem Abdullah Awadh received a red card for a foul on Ronaldo, leaving his team with ten men. This pivotal moment allowed Ronaldo to score his second goal, solidifying Al Nassr’s victory.
Next, Al Nassr will compete in the King Cup final against Al Hilal, the unbeaten Saudi Pro League champions, this Friday.
