Al Nassr crushed Al Khaleej 4-1 in the Saudi Pro League, highlighted by a moment of brilliance from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a fantastic bicycle kick goal to seal the match at the King Saud University Stadium.

The Portuguese forward soared through the air to execute an acrobat finish reminiscent of his prime days with Real Madrid, recording the third bicycle kick goal of his career. This incredible strike earned him the Goal of the Week award for Round 9 of the Saudi Pro League.

This marks the sixth time Ronaldo has won the Goal of the Week award in the Saudi Pro League, and the third time he has done so this season alone, having previously won the award in Round 5 (vs. Al Fateh) and Round 7 (vs. Al Fayha).
