After a series of goalless matches, Cristiano Ronaldo finally scored. A match that Al-Nassr would go on to win 4-0, Ronaldo scored in the 4th minute giving the Riyadh club a strong start. But the last few matches have been difficult for CR7. He saw the team lose an important game against Al-Hilal, making the title run trickier. Yesterday was a breather for the star striker as he showed his mettle again on the ground.
Among many things, Ronaldo looked in a fresh mood during the game. He tried a couple of new tricks during the play. Fans are celebrating his comeback and many wondering if he will continue to score amid all the chaos surrounding him.

Aggressing with the ball, Ronaldo balanced it on his foot, then took it down and passed with his other foot while looking in the other direction. His teammate, who the pass was intended to overrun as he had no idea about the mesmerizing trick, Ronaldo was about to play.
Thankfully, this hilarious mishap was overshadowed by the Al-Nassr win. The 4-0 win means Al-Nassr is now only 3 points behind Al-Ittihad. However, they do have one less match than Ittihad left in the season. The teams are neck-to-neck on goal differences as well. Drop points now will be lethal for Nassr’s title hope. Yesterday’s performance might have helped Ronaldo forget the slump and how Erling Haaland just broke one of his records.
Erling Haaland has the most goals
