Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his enduring brilliance with a remarkable free-kick for Al-Nassr against Damac last Saturday. The match was level at 1-1, and Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar, took charge from around 30 yards out.
Earlier in the second half, he had allowed Anderson Talisca to equalize from a set-piece, only to follow it up with an incredible shot into the top corner, emphatically proving that at the age of 38, he still possesses his extraordinary skill.
Throughout the current season, Ronaldo has been consistently outstanding for Nassr, boasting an impressive record of 12 goals in as many games across various competitions. His goal-scoring prowess is exemplified by the fact that he has failed to score in only two league matches, which also happen to be the only two games Nassr hasn’t won in the 2023/24 season.
Al Nassr currently stands third in the league standings, accumulating 22 points from 10 matches, trailing league leaders Al Hilal by a margin of 4 points. Notably, Al Nassr boasts the highest goal-scoring record this season, with 28 league goals, underscoring their attacking prowess.
The next challenge for Al-Nassr is in the AFC Champions League, where they face Al-Duhail on Tuesday. With Cristiano Ronaldo’s exceptional form and his knack for delivering game-changing moments, Al-Nassr’s prospects remain exciting, making them a formidable contender in both domestic and international competitions.
