Cristiano Ronaldo made an impressive return to Al-Nassr, Saudi Super Cup by scoring in his first match back after Euro 2024. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner not only scored but also provided an assist, leading Al-Nassr to a victory over Al Taawoun.
His performance came after missing pre-season with the Saudi club. Ronaldo’s return set the stage for his team’s upcoming clash with defending Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup final.
Cristiano Ronaldo, receiving a pass from Sultan Al Ghannam, expertly placed the ball into the net. This goal marked his first of the 2024–25 season. Ronaldo had earlier assisted Ayman Yahya with the opening goal.
Celebrating his 57th-minute strike with his signature ‘Siuu’ move, Ronaldo thrilled the fans. According to Nassr Zone, this goal also solidified his legacy in football history, making him the first player to score in 23 consecutive seasons since beginning his professional career at Sporting Lisbon.
Next on Ronaldo and Al-Nassr’s agenda is a highly anticipated showdown against their arch-rivals, Al-Hilal, in the Saudi Super Cup final. This match will spark up the intense rivalry between the two Riyadh clubs, with last season’s contest seeing Al-Hilal narrowly surpass Ronaldo’s team in the battle for major trophies. Ronaldo’s ability to score could be crucial in what is expected to be another exciting chapter in Saudi Arabian football.
