This video went viral over social media, with fans cheering on Ronaldo’s determination and talent.

Ronaldo still going strong for Al Nassr

The Portuguese superstar joined Al Nassr in January of this year, after deciding to part ways with Manchester United last year. Ronaldo has been excellent for the Saudi giants so far, with netting 25 goals in 29 matches across all competitions. Although Ronaldo and Al Nassr had a pretty slow start to the star-studded Saudi Pro League season, the Portuguese talisman has kept an electric form since his past two outings.

Ronaldo scored a stunning hat-trick against Al Fateh in Al Nassr’s 5-0 victory in the league. He came close to a second-straight treble in his next game against Al Shabab when he scored two and led Al Nassr to a 4-0 win. Ronaldo took his tally to 5 goals in two games and looks strong to compete for the top scorer spot in the Saudi Pro League.

With the likes of Benzema and Neymar also involved in the Saudi Pro League, it will be interesting to see who clinches the top spot for the highest scorer in the league.

Al Nassr will be next in action once again when they face Al Hazem away from home on Saturday, September 2nd.
