Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia at the start of this year as he had a mutual termination of his Manchester United. The Portuguese struggled in his first season but he has returned with a renewed vigour this time.

Anderson Talisca managed to get past his marker on the right flank and he cuts back and laid off the former Manchester United star with a delightful ball. The 38-year-old blasted the net with his left foot as he provided the lead to his team. Sultan Al-Ghannam and Seko Fofana scored as Al-Nassr carushed the defending champions 3-1.
