No matter how many stars come to Saudi Arabia. Overshadowing Cristiano Ronaldo will be difficult, almost impossible. And it's because there is no match in which the Portuguese forward does not shine with the Al Nassr shirt. Like this Tuesday, against Al Shabab for Matchday 4 of the Saudi Professional League, he has scored a goal again, extending the good streak that started a few weeks ago.
When 13 minutes had elapsed in the Al-Awwal Park stadium, in Riyadh, Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty that referee Ismail Elfath awarded in favor of Al Nassr after VAR review. The referee relied on technology to detect a handball in the Al Shabab area.
As seen in the images, the former striker from Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus shot in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper to establish Al Nassr's advantage, who came into this match with one win, one loss, and one draw.
With this goal against Al Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo has reached 11 goals in 10 matches. In a phenomenal start to the season, the Portuguese international also has three assists. Total crack.
