Riyadh: Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice in Al-Nassr’s victory by 4-0 against Al Wasl of UAE and booked their sport in the next round of the AFC Champions League Elite. Ronaldo scored one of the goals with a towering header but more than that he grabbed the limelight with his brand new celebration after finding the back of the net. Ronaldo debuted his new goal celebration after taking his goal tally to 923.
Apart from Ronaldo, Ali Alhassan and Mohammed Al-Fatil also chipped in with one goal each. The 5-time Balon D’or winner made it a memorable outing for him last night with a brilliant performance. After the opening goal from Ali Alhassan, the Portuguese star came into the scene in the 44th minute as he scored a goal through a spot kick and then added another to his tally in the 78th minute with a leap.
Men can’t fly.

The former Manchester United footballer is known for celebrating his goal with the iconic "Siuuu" celebration. However, this time around he came with a different celebratory act. In a video doing rounds on social media, Ronaldo can be seen showing a gesture which indicates the take-off of the plane. However, after that, he suddenly shows a crash landing of the flight.

A couple of goals from the 39-year-old took the tally of Ronaldo’s international goals to 923. With the FIFA World Cup scheduled to be played in 2026, it would be interesting to see whether Ronaldo will be able to continue his impressive run in the football field while maintaining his fitness.
