Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are proving to be a menace for defenders in Saudi Arabia and the Asian Champions League.

The duo alongside Brazilian teammate Anderson Talisca have been instrumental for Al Nassr as they sit top of Group E in the AFC Champions League.

All three players were on target as the Knights of Najd defeated Qatari giants Al-Duhail in the third game of the group at the Al-Awwal Park on Tuesday night.

However, it was a moment of brilliance between Ronaldo and Mane left fans on their feet applauding for their stars.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Mane and Ronaldo quick backheel passes left Al Duhail defenders lost as Al-Nassr attacked.

Meanwhile, in a thrilling contest in Saudi Arabia, Talisca gave the host a first-half lead after finishing off a cheeky assist from Ronaldo.

Mane doubled the lead after the break before Ronaldo netted the first of his brace on the hour mark.

The visitors reduced the deficit through Ismail Mohamed and Almoez Ali in the space of four minutes.

Ronaldo finished off a brilliant move with a lovely volley before Kenyan forward Michael Olunga made it 4-3, as reported by ESPN.
