WEB DESK: Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years with a sensational overhead bicycle kick, steering Al Nassr to an emphatic 4-1 victory in the Saudi Pro League. The win in Riyadh solidified Al Nassr’s position at the top of the table, now four points clear after nine matches.
The game also featured key contributions from other ex-Premier League stars, namely Joao Felix and Sadio Mane, who both added goals to the tally. Although Ronaldo joined Al Nassr nearly three years ago, he remains on the hunt for his first title with the club.
The highlight of the night unfolded in the final moments as Ronaldo netted his 955th career goal with a jaw-dropping acrobatic strike. Leaping unnaturally high, he delivered a precise effort into the corner of the goal, leaving the goalkeeper no chance.
The crowd’s reaction was electric, with astonishment and exhilaration rippling through the stadium. Fans were left stunned—some holding their heads in disbelief, others shouting in awe. Ronaldo celebrated his incredible achievement in his iconic fashion, performing the signature “Siuuu” celebration and donning the agal, part of the traditional Arab ghutra headgear.
Social media was ablaze for hours with reactions like:
“When Ronaldo steps on the pitch, physics takes a backseat.”
“Thank you Ronaldo; this is why I’ve admired you for so long—an unreal goal right in front of us. Thank you, my idol, even at 40!”
“Unmatched. You are simply the best player alive!”
“No one does it better than Cristiano Ronaldo.”
“GOAT status confirmed, my brother.”
Summing up the sentiment perfectly, Al Nassr shared, “Call it skill, call it instinct… we call it Ronaldo.”
