Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – In a moment of sheer brilliance and defying his 40 years, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning bicycle kick for Al-Nassr in their dominant 4-1 victory against Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League on Sunday. The goal, reminiscent of his famous 2018 Champions League bicycle kick for Real Madrid against Juventus, sealed a comprehensive win for the league leaders, extending their winning streak to nine consecutive games.

The match, held in Riyadh, was already leaning heavily in Al-Nassr's favor thanks to earlier goals from Joao Felix, Wesley, and Sadio Mane. However, Ronaldo saved the best for last, producing a moment of magic in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Rising majestically to meet a cross from the right wing, Ronaldo connected with an exquisite overhead volley that flew past the Al Khaleej goalkeeper, marking his 955th career goal.

Al-Nassr had maintained control throughout the match. Joao Felix played a leading role in the first half, registering a goal and an assist. Felix opened the scoring in the 39th minute, with Wesley doubling the lead three minutes later. Al Khaleej responded in the 47th minute with a goal by Murad Al-Hawsawi, but Sadio Mane restored Al-Nassr's two-goal advantage. Al-Nassr's dominance was statistically evident, and their attacking play put Al Khaleej's defense under constant pressure. In the final play of the game, Ronaldo then sealed the victory with his spectacular bicycle kick.

Following the game, Al-Nassr's Head Coach Jorge highlighted Ronaldo's enduring quality, stating, "Cristiano scored a wonderful goal today, the same type of goal he once scored with Juventus; his contribution never stops, both on and off the pitch".

Ronaldo himself took to social media, posting a clip of the gravity-defying moment with a challenge to his millions of fans: "Best caption wins!". His post quickly gained traction, as football fans worldwide celebrated the veteran forward's timeless brilliance.

The victory puts Al-Nassr at the top of the Saudi Pro League table with 27 points from nine games, four points ahead of Al Hilal. Ronaldo has yet to win a title since joining the Saudi club nearly three years ago.

The goal is already drawing comparisons to his similar goal for Real Madrid against Juventus in the Champions League in 2018. Al-Nassr is currently enjoying a perfect start to the Saudi Pro League season, recording nine wins in nine matches.
