Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations in the Saudi Pro League. On April 12, during Al Nassr’s tense 2-1 victory over Al Riyadh, the Portuguese superstar scored a sensational volley that many are calling a Puskás Award contender.
Ronaldo’s first goal came early in the second half — a jaw-dropping volley that had fans and pundits speechless. He later converted a second chance, securing three vital points for Al Nassr and keeping the pressure on league rivals Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.
With these two goals, Ronaldo’s season total rises to 20, and more impressively, his career tally climbs to 931 goals. When asked about chasing 1,000 goals, Ronaldo responded:
“It’s not an obsession. I just want to keep enjoying football and helping my team.”
