Cristiano Ronaldo might be old but he is still green with his continuous on-field heroics and showstopping performances, MySportDab reports.
The Manchester United legend is again on the spotlight so far in 2023 as he became the highest-scoring footballer in the year, overtaking youngsters like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
Against Al-Durhail in Asian Champions League last night, Cristiano Ronaldo netted an incredible weak foot goal that has got tongues wagging on his abilities and unfailing abilities even at 38.
Before the mercurial goal that stir a social media buzz, Al Nassr had already scurried to safety with a two-goal lead scored in both halves scored by Anderson Talisca and Sadio Mane.
Talisca netted Al Nassr’s first goal in the 26th minute thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s assist while Sadio Mane scored in the 56th minute to extend the lead.
Five minutes after Sadio Mane’s goal, Cristiano Ronaldo registered his name on the scoresheet for the Saudi giants in the 61st minute.
Picking a pass from Al Ghanam in Al-Durhail’s half on the left flank, Ronaldo steered himself with the ball a bit towards the center and then unleashed a powerful curved strike into the top right corner to make it 3-0 for Al Nassr.

It was an incredible strike from the Portuguese superstar as Al-Durhail goalkeeper stood helpless as the ball flew like a measured projectile into the net.
The goal was Ronaldo’s third goal in Asian Champions League for Al Nassr and his 14th strike in all competitions for the club.
After a disappointing first season with Al Nassr, Ronaldo has stepped up his game for the Saudi Pro League giants and will be hoping to continue with the top level performance for the side this term.
