Cristiano Ronaldo, who used to play for big teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, shined in Al Nassr’s 4-1 win over Al-Feiha on Tuesday. He said this is just the start and told his teammates to keep doing their best this season.
Ronaldo, who is now 39 years old, scored a goal and provided an assist in the game. He started by helping his teammate Talisca score the first goal at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraydah, just five minutes into the match. Later, Ronaldo scored a goal himself.
Ronaldo is very close to matching Lionel Messi’s record. He scored his first free-kick of the season in the tenth minute of extra time, making it his 64th free-kick goal for club and country. This is just one behind Messi.
Also, Ronaldo’s latest goal was his 899th in his amazing career for both club and country. The game continued with Marcelo Brozovic making it 3-0 for Al Nassr in the 85th minute. Al-Feiha did score one goal, but then Talisca scored another goal for Al Nassr during extra time, making the final score 4-1.
Despite this good result, Ronaldo and his team are still two points behind the top team, Al-Qadisiyah. After the game, Ronaldo shared his excitement on social media: “This is only the beginning! Let’s go @AlNassrFC!”
