VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo puts a defender on his a** and sweeps the corner of the opponent’s goal with a beautiful shot from outside the box

Cristiano Ronaldo is having a spectacular season. At 38 years old, he is still scoring goals like a treadmill and added another in last night’s Saudi Pro League match. He first bathed a defender and then gave the goalkeeper no chance with a beautiful shot.

Age is just a number. Even at 38, he is competing with stars more than a decade younger than him in world football, scoring one goal after another. And they’re not just any goals. In Saturday’s league game, he showed another of his iconic footballing skills.

Aged like wine? That’s how you could describe this season, in which Cristiano Ronaldo is really rocking. Despite filling the media headlines last week with his controversy over the Ballon d’Or announcement, he is having a league of his own on the pitch in an Al Nassr jersey.

I mean, let’s face it. He scored his fourteenth goal in fifteen games in an Al Nassr jersey, adding eight assists. Incredible numbers for a veteran of world football.

Thanks to his performances, the Riyadh club is also close behind the leading team of the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal. The latter, even without the injured Neymar, is on a streak of five consecutive match wins and is putting pressure on its chasers.

Thus, in the twelfth league round, Al Nassr had to win unconditionally at home against Al Khaleej. Of course, the home fans relied most on their biggest star in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo.

He did not keep his supporters waiting for long and confirmed the highest expectations in the 26th minute. He guided the ball behind the big whitewash to his proverbial right hand, sent the defender on his ass with a great shot and gave the visitors’ goalkeeper no chance with a beautiful shot into the corner of the net.

He thus opened the scoring in an important match and scored his twelfth league goal of the season. No wonder he is at the top of the scoring table with a three-goal lead over Mitrovic.
