Video: Cristiano Ronaldo’s silky backheel pass in Al Nassr SPL game against Abha stirs reaction

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr side took little time to get into full throttle against Saudi Pro League basement club Abha FC.

It took only three minutes for Luis Castro's side to light up the scenes, making their intent as title contenders clear to their struggling visitors.

As reported by Al Nassr's Zone on social media, they orchestrated a magnificent goal characterized by a seamless sequence of passes.

It all began with the Senegalese sensation Sadio Mane, who initiated the play, passing the ball to Ronaldo. The Portuguese maestro, in a display of finesse, executed a backheel pass to Marcelo Brozovic, who in turn set up Edmilson Otavio to score the goal.

Later in the match, the Riyadh-based club extended their lead with a goal from Brazilian talent Anderson Talisca. Although they conceded a penalty in the 36th minute, converted by Tunisian Saad Bguir, it was Ronaldo's exceptional pass that garnered the most attention and reactions from fans and observers alike.

Ronaldo, who remains a source of immense joy for Saudi Club fans, has actively contributed to 15 league goals since the commencement of the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League season, according to reports from Whoscored.

Despite recording a 2-2 draw on the night, the 38-year-old will be eager for his team to sustain their pursuit of the title as they prepare to face Damac FC.
"GOAT for a reason ????"
