It all started when many doubted Cristiano Ronaldo at the start of the season, yet his brace against Damac is so special that it shows the latter is not going to stop anytime soon. The Portuguese legend has now scored 20 goals, and 4 assists for club and country this season. He turns 40 in the next 2 months. One of the key facts that fans cannot miss is that the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner who is the greatest goalscorer in the history of the sport has 915 career goals so far; 452 goals have been scored since he turned 30!

The Portuguese star has yet to win a major trophy since arriving in Riyadh in 2022. He struck once in each half to ensure Al-Nassr stayed third, five points behind leader Al-Ittihad. Defending champion Al-Hilal was second.

Just over a third of the season has been played.

In the 16th minute, Ronaldo fired home from the penalty spot after Abdelkader Bedrane handled in the area.

The Algerian defender completed a miserable evening early in the second half when he was red-carded for a dangerous tackle.
