The national team break is finally in the past and club football is back. On Friday night, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed his great form, scoring two goals to lead his Al-Nassr side to victory, where he has literally shone this season.
The Portuguese legend has been in phenomenal scoring form since his transfer to Saudi Arabia. At 38, he hasn’t stopped scoring goals. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo is the main cannonballer of his national team, which he easily reached EURO 2024.
It’s worth mentioning that the Al-Nassr star netted 10 goals in the European Championship qualifiers. Only Belgian goal scorer Romelu Lukaku did better with 14 goals. Ronaldo left behind such aces as Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland.
The holder of five Ballon d’Or also made his mark in the last national break, scoring in the Liechtenstein net and assisting against Iceland. Portugal came through the qualifiers without losing a point and coach Roberto Martinez praised the form of his charges.
Ronaldo’s great form continues even after his return to the club. In fact, his Al-Nassr took on Al-Akhdoud, one of the worst clubs in Saudi Arabia’s top league competition, on Friday night and the Portuguese was the main driving force behind the win.
Ronaldo has two more goals to his name
Al-Nassr didn’t win any trophies last season and now wants to make amends. However, he is not having an easy time of it. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo is surrounded by star teammates, including Sadio Mané and Marcelo Brozovic, he only holds second place.
This is even after a 3-0 win against Al-Akhdoud, during which Ronaldo scored twice. Al Naji opened the scoring in the 13th minute. The Portuguese came into his own at the end of the game. He scored the first time in the 77th minute and the second in the 80th minute.
Across all competitions, Ronaldo has 18 goals and 9 assists in 18 matches. In short, a phenomenal record.
But he must continue his great form. Al-Nassr are second in the league, one point behind Al-Hilal, who have a game in hand.
