Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years in Riyadh on Saturday night, delivering yet another moment of magic as Al-Nassr swept aside Al-Fateh 5-1 in the Saudi Pro League.
At 40, the Portuguese icon seems to be ageing in reverse, capping the night with a spectacular long-range strike that thundered into the top corner; his 800th club goal.
It was a performance that summed up Ronaldo’s career: defiance, precision, and pure theatre. He had earlier fluffed his lines from the penalty spot, sending his effort wide in the 59th minute, but responded in trademark fashion just minutes later.
Picking up the ball from distance, he unleashed a rocket that silenced the home crowd and reminded everyone why his name still carries unmatched weight in world football.

The Al-Nassr captain didn’t stop there. He turned provider soon after, setting up Joao Felix, who went on to complete a brilliant hat-trick. Kingsley Coman added the fifth to wrap up a dominant display that lifted Al-Nassr to the summit of the league table with a perfect record after five games.
When the final whistle blew, Ronaldo’s grin said it all. Eight hundred goals across five clubs and two decades: from Lisbon to Manchester, Madrid to Turin, and now Riyadh, the legend keeps finding new ways to astonish.

This is a 40 year old Ronaldo.
