Even at the age of 38, there’s no stopping Cristiano Ronaldo. Just last week, the Portuguese superstar won a trophy with Al Nassr thanks to his brace. Interestingly, before the match, the Al Hilal fans doubted his potential and questioned his ability. Eventually, that backfired on the rival fans, which is now eliciting warm responses from the soccer world.
Not only before the Arab Club Champions League, many even raised eyebrows when he moved to Al Nassr. However, against all odds, the striker not only relaxed a few eyebrows but also dropped many jaws.

Before the Arab Club Champions League final, some Al Hilal fans jeered Ronaldo. Many raised their doubts over his ability to win the final with Al Nassr as they questioned his age. Furthermore, the whole rival crowd chanted Messi in front of him. Unfortunately, that only gave the CR7 enough boost, as it eventually backfired on the fans.
Ronaldo was able to shut the mouths of the rival fans by not only scoring an important brace but also winning the trophy. That certainly left Al Hilal fans speechless. Some even cried, as shown in the clip shared by a netizen. This also enticed some fans to react to the clip and heap praise on the veteran.
Will most definitely name my first born after him….what a guy

A few netizens heaped praise for their idol.
It's just painful they gave to learn the hard way. You don't diss Ronaldo and get away with it. The worst you can do is diss him in a final. You'll learn the hard way

Indeed, this is a classic example of why one should never doubt Ronaldo. It is surely a lesson and a message to everyone who still thinks that the 38-year-old has lost his quality. However, speaking of the final, the Al Nassr skipper picked up a knee injury.

CR7 suffers knee injury
After Ronaldo secured a crucial double, an injury compelled his exit from the field during the 115th minute. A picture surfaced as he was being carted away while he was touching his left knee as tears welled in his eyes. Yet, a smile eventually graced his face as he not only clinched the team’s trophy but also claimed the tournament’s top-scorer accolade.
Regrettably, this triumph was not without its price – an injury setback. In the meantime, Al Nassr’s coach criticized the tight league schedule, while CR7 remains under medical evaluation. Let’s hope for a swift recovery, otherwise, it will derail Al Nassr’s performance in the upcoming domestic fixtures.
