Cristiano Ronaldo hit the mark for Al-Nassr in a matchup against Al-Ahli, delighting fans with a new celebration.

Ronaldo, in top goal-scoring form, bagged a brace, propelling the Knights of Najd to an impressive 4-2 lead at Al-Awwal Park.

The legendary former Real Madrid forward opened the scoring within three minutes, neatly finishing a splendid pass from Sadio Mane.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner struck again in the second half, launching a formidable low shot that left Ahli goalkeeper Edouard Mendy with no chance.

Following his goal, the 38-year-old not only marked it with his signature 'siuu' celebration but also incorporated a traditional Saudi dance, adding to the excitement.

Subsequently, the 38-year-old not only celebrated the goal with his iconic 'siuu' celebration but also interrupted it to perform a Saudi traditional dance.



Ronaldo reaches superb milestone

By scoring his ninth goal this season, Ronaldo now has 33 goals in 2023. 14 goals came from the SPL last season, six from the Arab Lub Champions Cup and eight this term. He scored five of those goals for Portugal in the 2024 European Championships qualifiers, per Transfermarkt.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar has also assisted seven goals in 2023.

He has a total of 41 goals plus assists in 2023 in 39 games, which is an incredible milestone for a player his age. That number will go up before the year ends.
