Cristiano Ronaldo has just played two matches with Al Nassr in the 2024–25 Saudi Pro League, but he has already shown that he is still unbeatable. Al Feiha is the one seeing his endless brilliance this time. The Portuguese sensation made it 2-0 just before the half after scoring an outstanding set-piece goal to increase his team's lead. Ronaldo's stunning free kick puts him only one goal away from reaching 900 goals in his career.
Ronaldo scored the first goal of the season against Al Raed in the League to get off to a scorching start after an ugly loss against Al Hilal during the Saudi Super Cup. In an attempt to earn the Saudi Pro League golden boot a second time, the 39-year-old has now found himself on the scoresheet once more.
Ronaldo created headlines in Saudi Arabia during his last tenure. The Portuguese player shattered Abderrazak Hamdallah's 2019 record of 34 goals during an entire Saudi Pro League campaign by scoring on an amazing 35 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible set-piece goal versus Al Feiha brought his career total of free kick goals to 64. He is now just behind Lionel Messi, who scored 65 goals.
“I will retire soon, in two or three years” : Cristiano Ronaldo
In addition to announcing his retirement date, Cristiano Ronaldo disclosed that he had no intention of continuing as a coach. The famous Portuguese football player declared his intention to retire with the Saudi club, Al-Nassr, and that he is pleased at his current club.
He said, "I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years... but probably I will retire here at Al Nassr. I’m very happy at this club, I feel good in this country too. I’m happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue.”
The former Manchester United superstar said, "When I leave the national team, I won't tell anyone in advance and it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also a very well thought-out one. Right now what I want is to be able to help the national team in their upcoming matches. We have the Nations League ahead of us and I would really like to play."
