Cristiano Ronaldo, at the age of 40, continues to defy expectations, showcasing his enduring brilliance with a stunning bicycle kick for Al-Nassr in their recent Saudi Pro League match. The acrobatic goal, which sealed a 4-1 victory against Al Khaleej, has once again captivated the football world, reminding fans of his iconic overhead strike in Turin.

The match, held at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh on Sunday, saw Al-Nassr extend their perfect start to the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League season. Al-Nassr dominated the game, with Ronaldo and Joao Felix leading the charge. Felix opened the scoring in the 39th minute, followed by Wesley's superb strike, giving Al-Nassr a 2-0 lead at halftime. Al Khaleej managed to pull one back early in the second half, but Sadio Mané quickly restored the two-goal advantage.

The game took a dramatic turn when Al Khaleej's Dimitrios Kourbelis was shown a straight red card for a stamp on Ali Al-Hassan. Then, in the 90+6 minute, Ronaldo delivered the final blow with a spectacular bicycle kick from a cross by Nawaf Boushal, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. The goal marked Ronaldo's 954th career goal and his tenth in nine league appearances this season.

Ronaldo had earlier come close to scoring, with one shot saved brilliantly by Al-Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris. He also had a goal disallowed for offside. Despite these setbacks, Ronaldo remained determined, eventually producing a moment of magic that will be replayed for years to come.

Al-Nassr's victory keeps them perfect this season with nine wins from nine matches. The team has scored a league-high 30 goals while only conceding four. Ronaldo's contribution has been crucial to their success, with the Portuguese star showing no signs of slowing down.

Ronaldo recently returned from international duty with Portugal, where he was sent off against Ireland but celebrated his country's qualification for the World Cup. Should he be selected, this would be his record-breaking sixth World Cup appearance. He has confirmed that the 2026 World Cup will be his last major international tournament with Portugal.

Speaking earlier this month, Ronaldo said he feels "very good in this moment" and is still enjoying his football. He added that he intends to play for another year or two and aims to reach 1,000 career goals before retiring. By the time his Al Nassr deal concludes in 2027, Ronaldo will be 42 years old.
