Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational goal for Al-Nassr that may be his best since he moved to Saudi Arabia
He has 44 goals in 48 games in 2023, including this banger
Cristiano Ronaldo is in the final stretch of his brilliant career. However, he still retains the abilities that made him one of the best soccer players on the planet.
At 38 years old, Cristiano scored a spectacular goal for his team, Al-Nassr, to open the scoring in a 2-0 victory against Al-Khaleej. They continue chasing Al-Hilal, leader of the Saudi Pro League, which has a four-point lead after the 12th match day.
The Portuguese striker's goal came in the 26th minute, when Al-Nassr regained the ball at the feet of the Spaniard Aymeric Laporte on the left side. He found Ronaldo, who dribbled away from goal to take the ball and open the space.
Cristiano dropped the defender with a fake shot, pushing the ball back to his right foot. With this space and very little momentum, he took an impressive right footed strike that nestled inside the right post of the goalkeeper, who had no time to react.
In the second half, CR7 returned the favor with an assist to Laporte, who scored the second goal of the night to achieve the victory. It was Al-Nassr's third win in a row and the fourth in five games, to reach 28 points. They have four less than the leader Al-Hilal and four more than Al-Taawon, which is third with 24.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 44 goals in 48 games so far in 2023, confirming that he is still in world-beating form, although he plays in a league at a lower level than the European elite.
