Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines once again as he netted his 50th goal for Al Nassr, securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League on Friday. The Portuguese superstar, a five-time Ballon d'Or recipient, capitalized on a penalty awarded by VAR in the 68th minute to seal the win and solidify Al Nassr's position in second place in the league standings.
Ronaldo's remarkable tally of 50 goals has been amassed across 58 appearances spanning various competitions including the Saudi Pro League, Asian Champions League, King's Cup, Super Cup, and Arab Club Champions Cup. Since his contentious departure from Manchester United in 2022, Ronaldo has been a pivotal figure for Al Nassr, consistently delivering on the pitch.
Despite a disallowed goal in the first half and former Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino suffering a similar fate for Al Ahli, Ronaldo's decisive strike proved to be the difference-maker. The victory halted a recent dip in form for Al Nassr, who had slipped behind league leaders Al Hilal and were eliminated from the Asian Champions League earlier in the week, providing a much-needed boost as they aim to narrow the gap at the top of the table.
