Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has once again etched his name in the annals of the sport, scoring a spectacular 40-yard goal in the Saudi Pro League, as reported by CNN on Saturday. The Portuguese maestro’s extraordinary display led Al Nassr to a decisive 3-0 victory over Al Okhdood, with Ronaldo netting twice in a remarkable three-minute span.
Ronaldo’s first goal, an impressive angled shot from close range in the 77th minute, set the stage for the football virtuoso. Following this, he delivered a moment of brilliance, executing a sublime chest touch that paved the way for a perfectly placed lob into the net. The goalkeeper, Paulo Vitor, found himself powerless as Ronaldo’s skillful play unfolded.
The awe-inspiring goal earned widespread praise on social media, with Al Nassr describing it as “One. for. the. ages” on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
This performance marked Ronaldo’s 15th goal in just 13 league appearances this season and propelled Al Nassr to the second position in the league standings.
Historic Goal-scoring Record:
Ronaldo’s remarkable goal tally is not confined to the Saudi Pro League. The football icon, who signed a significant two-and-a-half-year contract with Al Nassr, boasts a total of 527 goals in first-division competitions. This includes his dominance in the Saudi Pro League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Liga Portugal, making him the all-time leading scorer in first-division football history.
Having achieved this latest milestone, Ronaldo now shifts his focus to the Asian Champions League. Al Nassr is gearing up to face the Iranian side Persepolis on Monday, November 27, as the football maestro continues to make waves in the world of football.
