Cristiano Ronaldo continues to prove that even after leaving Europe, he has not lost his great footballing powers. For example, this Saturday he shone with a spectacular free kick goal in the match between 'his' Al Nassr vs. Abha in the framework of the 21st round of the Saudi Professional League.
When the 79th minute of the match was running at Mrsool Park, and Al Nassr was losing 1-0 after Abdulfattah Adam's goal, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to take a free kick to start the team's comeback, which is fighting for the top of the championship with Al-Ittihad FC.
As the images show, Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to remember his best goals at Manchester United, Juventus, and Real Madrid and took a very powerful shot, so much so that the rival goalkeeper was caught off guard, could do nothing, and that's how Al Nassr equalized.
The joy of Rudi Garcia's team did not end there. Just minutes after Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick goal, the Brazilian Talisca scored the 2-1 from penalty for the comeback. For many, it was surprising that the Portuguese forward gave the penalty kick to his teammate.
Thus, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored nine goals so far in the Saudi Professional League. He made his debut on February 3 against Al Fateh and a week later he shone with a poker against Al Wahda. The latest victim has been Damac. The Portuguese player is starting to justify the €200 million he earns per season.
On the other hand, Al Nassr remains in second place in the Saudi League standings with this victory. The Riyadh team has 49 points and is now only one point behind the leader Al-Ittihad FC. In the next round, 'CR7' and company will face Al Adalh.
