Cristiano Ronaldo was in vintage form as he played a key role in keeping Al-Nassr’s hopes of lifting the Saudi title alive with a match-winning performance against Al Shabab.

Cristiano Ronaldo made the move to the Middle East at the end of 2022 after an explosive exit from Manchester United, putting pen to paper on a contract worth £173m per year.

Ronaldo has been in sparkling form for Al-Nassr with 14 goals in 18 appearances and his latest strike was a match-winning goal against Al Shabab to help his team come back from 2-0 down.

They have amazing people and the league will be great in my opinion.”
