It didn't take long for Cristiano Ronaldo to return to his goalscoring ways with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo on Friday made his first appearance for Al-Nassr since the 2026 FIFA World Cup and scored in the 83rd minute, just 22 minutes after coming on as a substitute. Ronaldo skillfully shielded the ball upon receiving a pass from Ayman Yahya from the right wing and scored with his left foot.
This marks Ronaldo's first goal of the 2026-27 Saudi Pro League campaign and his 977th career goal. Al-Nassr opened the Saudi Pro League season with a 3-0 win over Al Fateh on Saturday, August 15th and currently sit at the top of the table. Al-Nassr won the Saudi Pro League last season, ending Ronaldo's five-year stretch without a major club trophy.
Ronaldo is expected to retire at the end of the season, stating last week that this was "probably my last year of football." Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr expires June 2027.
