Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus goal king, Cristiano Ronaldo has declared it is just the beginning after starring in Al Nassr’s 4-1 league win over Al-Feiha on Tuesday.
The football icon urged his teammates to keep up the good work of their good start to the league season.
The 39-year-old starred with a goal and an assist.
He assisted Talisca’s first goal at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraydah inside five minutes and then got in the scoresheet himself.
He is one goal off equaling Lionel Messi’s record after bagging his first free-kick of the season in the tenth minute of stoppage time.
It was his 64th free-kick for club and country, placing him just one behind his arch-rival, Messi.
It was also his 899th goal of his illustrious career for club and country.
Luis Castro’s side made it 3-0 through Marcelo Brozovic in the 85th minute and as Al-Feiha pulled one back, Talisca scored his second of the game in the fifth minute of stoppage time and restored Al-Alami’s three-goal lead.
Ronaldo and his teammates are, however, two points behind surprise leaders, Al-Qadisiyah.
Ronaldo reacted on X following Al-Nassr’s win: “This is only the beginning! Let’s go @AlNassrFC!”
