<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> took to social media only a day after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a> got eliminated from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/afc-champions-league">AFC Champions League</a> at the hands of Al Ain on penalties. The Portuguese superstar was the only one to score for his team in the shootout.



“Thank you for your support. We’ll find a way to bounce back and come back stronger! Together, always!,” Ronaldo wrote on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram along with a picture of the team.



It was quite a frustrating night for the 39-year-old, who missed a couple of golden chances during the game but managed to score a late penalty in extra time to tie the aggregate score.



Al-Nassr arrived in the game needing to overturn a one-goal deficit from the first leg, but got off to a poor start as the visitors took a 2-0 lead in the first half. Luis Castro’s men came back stronger in the second half, turning things around to extend the match to overtime.

But eventually, their penalty takers did terribly – except for Ronaldo. Khalid Eisa denied Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles then hit the woodwork, and even though Cristiano scored, Otavio’s miss sealed Al-Nassr’s fate in the tournament.

<h2>Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr with work to do to win a trophy</h2>



Now, the Riyadh giants face a challenging outlook to avoid finishing the season trophyless. After 23 rounds, Al-Nassr trail <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a> leaders Al-Hilal by 12 points, and even though there are still 11 games left, the rivals are showing no signs of slowing down.



Jorge Jesus’ men have just matched the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive victories (27), as they have yet to lose a game in the domestic tournament this season (W21 D2).


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240303#BUS#108946"></div>


Ronaldo and company’s best shot at winning a piece of silverware this term may rely on the Saudi Super Cup, though they’ll have to beat Al-Hilal to make the grand final.



The former Manchester United star is doing great regardless, leading the Saudi Pro League scoring charts with 22 goals while his nine assists are tied with those of Alvaro Medran for the most in the league.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> scored a late overtime penalty to keep <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a>‘s hopes in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/afc-champions-league">AFC Champions League</a> alive, but Al Ain got the upper hand in the shootout (1-3), as the Portuguese star was the only one one to score from the spot for his team.



Khalid Eisa denied Marcelo Brozovic in the first spot-kick of the series, whereas Alex Telles hit the crossbar before Otavio missed the goal. Al Ain, on the other hand, scored all three penalties they took and therefore progressed to the semifinals.

It wasn’t an easy night for Ronaldo, who missed a couple of golden chances to get on the scoresheet. He managed to come up with a heroic moment late in extra time and even scored his penalty in the shootout, but Al-Nassr still lost.

<h2>Al-Nassr force the extra time but lose on penalties</h2>



After losing 1-0 in the first leg last week, Al-Nassr returned to Al-Awwal Stadium forced to turn things around. But it didn’t start well, with Soufiane Rahimi putting the visitors in front 1-0 (2-0 on aggregate).



With help from Sadio Mane, Ghareeb capitalized on a terrible mistake at the oppostion’s back, making things level just before halftime. But Al Ain came back stronger from the break, as Rahimi restored their lead after 45′.



Al-Nassr never gave up though, and put themselves back on track as an own goal by Khalid Eisa (51′) paved the way for Alex Telles to put the home side in front. With a 3-2 lead in regular time and the scored tied 3-3 on aggregate, the match went to overtime.

Sultan Al-Shamsi once again put Al-Nassr’s back against the wall by scoring after 103′, but Ronaldo seized a penalty kick 15 minutes later to tie the aggregate score and force the penalties. 



In the end, it was still a disappointing ending for the veteran striker’s team, but Cristiano finished the game on a high note considering how frustrating he looked with the missed opportunities at some point.



<h2>Ronaldo, Al-Nassr face tough scenario to finish the season with a title</h2>



Al-Nassr now face a challenging outlook to try and finish the season with a piece of silverware. Despite having the tournament’s top scorer in Ronaldo (22 goals), Luis Castro’s team is second in the Saudi Pro League standings with 53 points, 12 shy of leaders Al-Hilal.



Jorge Jesus’ side has been leading the league for months now and it seems to have no intention to slow down, as it has recently matched the world record for most consecutive wins (27 across all competitions).



While there are still 11 rounds left, Al-Nassr’s best chance of winning a trophy this season seems to be in the Saudi Super Cup. But they’ll have to take down Al-Hilal in the semifinal to challenge for the trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goals not enough as Al-Nassr suffer AFC Champions League exit

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> is on the verge of another failure with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al Nassr</a> in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>. In 2023, the Portuguese legend couldn’t secure any trophies with his new club and it seems like history is about to repeat itself.



In the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr have practically fallen out of the title race with a 12-point deficit to the clear favorite, Al Hilal. Although there are 11 matches left in the schedule, a comeback seems impossible.



Therefore, the last hope for Cristiano Ronaldo is the AFC Champions League. This Monday, the second-leg match of the quarterfinals against Al Ain will be played and the team from the United Arab Emirates holds a 1-0 advantage.



Moreover, the pressure is immense for CR7 after he was suspended for making an obscene gesture toward fans of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240310_BUS_110451_cristianoronaldo-1024x576_39a3d8d2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-105656" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/cristianoronaldo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/cristianoronaldo-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/cristianoronaldo-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/cristianoronaldo-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/cristianoronaldo.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cristiano Ronaldo talked about the incident with fans of Lionel Messi (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Why Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended in Saudi Arabia?</h2>



Cristiano Ronaldo&nbsp;was suspended for making a gesture that was deemed obscene by the&nbsp;Saudi Arabian Football Federation. This incident occurred a few week ago during a match against&nbsp;Al Shabab. 







When that game ended, several videos captured&nbsp;CR7&nbsp;touching his ear before repeatedly moving his hand forward in front of his pelvic area. The gesture apparently was directed toward fans of Al Shabab who were chanting the name of&nbsp;Lionel Messi. CR7 finally spoke about that incident. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231021#BUS#78533"></div>


“I will always respect the cultures of all countries, as I have respected to this day, but not always what people see is reality. As I said and I will say again, it is obvious that I will not do it again in this country, but in Europe, it is very normal. Sometimes the passion and excitement of the game leads us to make some mistakes.”



<h2>The controversy between Cristiano Ronaldo and fans of Lionel Messi</h2>



Furthermore, in the pre-match press conference against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo admitted that he never intended to insult the fans.



“Some people have a poor understanding of things and my actions are sometimes not correctly understood. What I did and what I was punished for was a misunderstanding. I respect the country I live in. Who doesn’t make mistakes in life?” stated the 39-year-old. I’m happy in Saudi Arabia. Emotions make one act before thinking. I didn’t have the intention of hurting people.”

Al-Nassr vs Al-Raed: How to Watch Live, TV Channels and Streaming Options in Your Country on March 7, 2024 - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> may have left <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> in 2018, but his love for the Spanish club remains untouched. On Wednesday, the Portuguese superstar took to social media to wish Los Blancos a happy birthday.



“Congratulations for these 122 years of history, Madridista family! Hala Madrid!,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram in honor of the Merengues’ 122nd anniversary along with a picture of himself after the 2018 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">UEFA Champions League</a> final.



Even though he didn’t get a message from Real Madrid’s social media team <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-forget-about-cristiano-ronaldo-on-his-birthday-20240207-BUS-103088.html">for his birthday</a> last month, the 39-year-old has nothing but great memories from his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.



It makes sense, since it was in the Spanish capital where Ronaldo won most of the biggest awards in his career, including multiple Champions League titles and Ballon d’Or honors.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="609" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240306_BUS_109436_image-3-1024x609_95202e95.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=609" alt="" class="wp-image-109477" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/image-3-1024x609.png 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/image-3-300x178.png 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/image-3-768x457.png 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/image-3.png 1165w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



Besides, Cristiano made history at the club by becoming Real Madrid’s all-time top goalscorer with an astonishing 450 goals in just 438 appearances. In nine years together, they celebrated four Champions Leagues, two LaLigas, as well as two Copa del Rey trophies, two UEFA Super Cups and three Club World Cups.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240303#BUS#108946"></div>


<h2>Ronaldo may not get second stint in Madrid</h2>



While Ronaldo’s message shows that his bond with Madrid is unbreakable, the club also had a great gesture with the striker last year. In December 2022, it opened the doors of its facilities in the Valdebebas sporting center lo let Cristiano stay in shape as he looked for a new team.



Many expected that to be a sign that Ronaldo would have a second stint with Real Madrid, but he ended up making a shocking move to Saudi Arabian side <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a>. Either way, the Spanish side never seemed to be interested in a reunion.



“The rumors of Cristiano Ronaldo coming back to Madrid are just rumors from his entourage. There’s nothing,” said Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in April 2021 as Ronaldo was heading into his final months at Juventus.



A few months later, manager Carlo Ancelotti also denied considering bringing back Ronaldo. “Cristiano Ronaldo is a Real Madrid legend and I really respect him. But I’ve never asked or planned to sign Cristiano this summer. We’re looking forward,” Carletto said in August 2021.

The special message from Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid years after their breakup

Cristiano Ronaldo sends message to Real Madrid on social media

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play at an extraordinary level despite being 39 years old. After signing with Al Nassr following the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/qatar-2022">Qatar 2022 World Cup</a>, no one expected the impressive performance he has delivered in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>.



In 2023, the Portuguese legend became the world’s top scorer, surpassing Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. However, on an individual level, he couldn’t lift a single official trophy with his club.



This year, the story seems to be different. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> has Al Nassr in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League and in second place in the Saudi Pro League. In the world of football, it’s incredible to see veterans like CR7 and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> continue to dazzle.



However, the question is when the definitive moment for retirement will come. Although the star has stated that a goal is to score 1000 goals, the reality is that the countdown has begun, and a video from his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, could have confirmed it.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240303_BUS_108946_cristianoronaldo-1-1024x576_3a930cb7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-77740" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/cristianoronaldo-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/cristianoronaldo-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/cristianoronaldo-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/cristianoronaldo-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/cristianoronaldo-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cristiano Ronaldo is close of retirement (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Georgina Rodriguez confirms possible retirement of Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>



Now, a video of Georgina Rodríguez, partner of Cristiano Ronaldo, has gone viral on social media, in which she openly talks about the end of the Portuguese idol’s career. Without giving a specific date, she hinted at when his retirement from soccer might occur.







During Paris Fashion Week, Georgina Rodríguez was filmed by a user while having a conversation with someone else about the last years of Ronaldo’s career. In the video, it’s clear that the Spanish model says, “Cristiano, one more year, and then it’s over. Maybe two, I don’t know.”



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

It’s important to remember that Cristiano Ronaldo has a valid contract with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia until June 2025. Therefore, it would make sense for the player to consider retirement around this time, as his association with the Saudi club will conclude when he is 40 years old.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al Nassr</a> are entering the most crucial moment of the 2023-2024 season. In the AFC Champions League, they have already secured their spot in the quarterfinals, where they will face Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates.



Meanwhile, in the Saudi Pro League, CR7’s team is seven points behind Al Hilal in a fierce race for the title. There is no room for error as they aim to lift the most important trophies of the year.



Individually, Cristiano Ronaldo is having an extraordinary moment after being the top scorer in the world in 2023, surpassing Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>. Additionally, the star from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portugal">Portugal</a> is the leading goal scorer in Saudi Arabia.



However, before the match against Al Hazm, Ronaldo received bad news and won’t be able to play against the worst team in the tournament for a very controversial reason. He misses a great opportunity to score many goals.

<h2>Why is Cristiano Ronaldo not playing in Al Nassr vs Al Hazm?</h2>



Cristiano Ronaldo won’t play in the match between Al Nassr and Al Hazm as he is suspended for making a gesture that was deemed obscene by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. This incident occurred during the Sunday match against Al Shabab.







When that game ended, several videos captured CR7 touching his ear before repeatedly moving his hand forward in front of his pelvic area. The gesture apparently was directed toward fans of Al Shabab who were chanting the name of Lionel Messi.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240228#BUS#107926"></div>


The decision cannot be appealed and the star will have to pay a fine of over $2000 as part of the punishment. He will be back to play in the Saudi Pro League against Al Raed on March 7th.

In the final stretch of the season, Al Nassr are seven points behind of Al Hilal in a tremendous race to hoist the trophy in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>. They haven’t lost in 2024 and, considering the situation on the standings, it was a huge chance for Ronaldo to accumulate many goals.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231224#BUS#94177"></div>


Al Hazm are currently the worst team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a> with only 14 points. So far, they’ve only won two matches and a victory on the road against Al Nassr would be the biggest upset of the season.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> got in the eye of the storm for a controversial gesture against fans who chanted for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> during <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a>‘s 3-2 win over Al-Shabab on Sunday. But it looks like the Portuguese star explained his actions.



According to Saudi Arabian outlet Al-Riyadiya, the Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Football Federation received a statement from the veteran striker, who’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/cristiano-ronaldo-could-be-banned-for-obscene-gesture-to-fans-20240228-BUS-107892.html">being investigated</a> for the obscene gesture.



“I respect all clubs. And the joy after the shot expresses strength and victory, and it is not shameful. We are used to it in Europe,” Ronaldo reportedly said, as transcribed by Goal.



Ronaldo scored the first goal of the night through the penalty spot, with Anderson Talisca later scoring a brace to secure a hard-fought win for the away side. However, Cristiano’s reaction to the fans’ chants has been the biggest talking point about about the match.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240228_BUS_107926_Ronaldo-vs-Al-Shabab-1024x576_27ffd1bf.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Ronaldo reacting to Messi chants." class="wp-image-107940" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Ronaldo-vs-Al-Shabab-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Ronaldo-vs-Al-Shabab-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Ronaldo-vs-Al-Shabab-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Ronaldo-vs-Al-Shabab-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Ronaldo-vs-Al-Shabab.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ronaldo reacting to Messi chants.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Ronaldo could get two-game ban according to reports</h2>



The 39-year-old had already heard chants for his longtime rival in Saudi Arabia before, and he reacted on those occasions as well. But this time he seemed to go a bit further, which is why there could be consequences.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240226#BUS#107532"></div>


Ronaldo is reportedly facing a potential two-game suspension as well as a monetary fine for his gestures, though we’ll have to wait and see what the final decision is.



The former Manchester United superstar is the Saudi Pro League top scorer with 22 goals, while his nine assists are tied with those of Alvaro Medran for the most in the tournament.

Al-Nassr are riding on a six-game winning streak in the league, which keeps them within touching distance of the top spot. But Al-Hilal are on an even better string of good results to stay seven points clear of Ronaldo’s team atop the standings.



Luis Castro’s side will play Al-Hazm on Thursday, before taking on Al Ain in the AFC Champions League quarterfinals. Then it will return to league action against Al-Raed.

Fans from many of the teams in the Saudi Pro League receive the Portuguese superstar with chants of “Messi, Messi” and the chants have gotten under the skin of the former Real Madrid star.



Cristiano Ronaldo has since made various obscene gestures to opposing fans from grabbing his crotch, to rubbing a scarf down his shorts, and lastly making fist pump gestures. The end result could finally be a fine and suspension according to Saudi media.

He leads the table of top scorers in a great race with Aleksandar Mitrovic. Overall, CR7 has 877 goals in his professional career. It’s fair enough to say he could get to 900 before the end of the season.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> delivered once again in the AFC Champions League. Today, during the second leg of the Round of 16, the legend from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portugal">Portugal</a> scored a goal in the 2-0 victory against Al Fayha.



It’s important to remember that, in 2023, CR7 couldn’t win any trophy with his new club after he decided to play in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a> following the World Cup in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/qatar-2022">Qatar</a>.







Now, the story is different. Al Nassr are in a tremendous race in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a> with Al Hilal and they are still dreaming with a ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup.

<h2>How many goals has Cristiano Ronaldo scored in his career?</h2>



Cristiano Ronaldo&nbsp;has scored&nbsp;876 goals&nbsp;in his professional career. Now, even with age as a key factor, the Portuguese star is closer to an epic record: 1000 goals.



“It’s going to be quite challenging, but it’s about assessing my mental state and motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them…we’ll see. It’s a step-by-step process. Before reaching 1 000, you have to reach 900 first. I believe I’ll achieve it.”

Before the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a> game against Al Fateh, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a>‘s U-13 team was honored by the club for winning the Arab league in its division. That let <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> see his son on the field, as Cristiano Jr. entered the pitch before kickoff with the rest of his teammates.



While Al-Nassr applauded the U-13 squad that entered the field as a reward for their success, Cristiano Jr. walked next to other youngsters who were greeting the senior players.



Curiously, the youngster didn’t approach his father to shake hands, which is why Ronaldo appeared to scold his son. The truth is there were other kids in between, and perhaps Cristiano Jr. felt shy about greeting his father in front of so many people. However, both father and son look happy in Riyadh.



“I’m very happy that I came here, I feel very comfortable, and I adapted very quickly. I enjoyed this season a lot,” said Cristiano Jr. in a video posted by Al-Nassr’s social media team.

<h2>Ronaldo scores the same night his son is honored by Al-Nassr</h2>



After the well-deserved recognition for the youth team by the fans and senior players, Al-Nassr went on to beat Al Fateh 2-1 with a goal by Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-cristiano-ronaldo-looks-unstoppable-with-another-goal-for-al-nassr-against-al-fateh-20240217-BUS-105655.html">scored the first of the night</a> only 17 minutes into the match, with Otavio scoring the winner in the second half as Salem Al-Najdi had tied after 29′.




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240207#BUS#103026"></div>


With 21 goals in 19 games, Ronaldo is the Saudi Pro League top scorer this season. He also ranks second in assists with 9, but his team is seven points shy of leaders Al-Hilal after 20 rounds.



Al-Nassr return to action on Wednesday, February 21, when they welcome Al Feiha to Al-Awwal Stadium in the return leg of the AFC Champions League round of 16. Luis Castro’s team leads 1-0 on aggregate thanks to a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-cristiano-ronaldo-scores-magnificent-goal-in-afc-champions-league-for-al-nassr-20240214-BUS-104888.html">late winner by Ronaldo</a> in the first leg.
