Cristiano Ronaldo delivered another timeless moment as he produced a spectacular overhead kick during Al-Nassr’s 4-1 win over Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League. The 40-year-old once again reminded the football world of his unmatched longevity and athletic ability.
A Goal Reminiscent of His Greatest Moments
Deep into stoppage time at Al-Awwal Park, Ronaldo leapt high inside the box to meet Nawaf Boushal’s cross, firing an acrobatic finish into the net. The strike drew instant comparisons to his world-famous bicycle kick for Real Madrid against Juventus in 2018.
“Ronaldo still delivers moments only he can create,” said one commentator after the match.
The goal marked his 954th career strike, adding another milestone to his legendary résumé. Ronaldo has also scored a similar overhead effort for Portugal against Poland in the Nations League in 2024.
Al-Nassr Extend Their Lead at the Top
The victory pushed Al-Nassr four points clear at the summit of the Saudi Pro League, strengthening their title push. Despite his global reputation and five Ballon d’Or awards, Ronaldo has yet to win a trophy since moving to Saudi Arabia in 2023 – a drought he appears determined to end this season.
“Age is just a number for Ronaldo – his hunger remains the same,” a fan posted online.
With form like this, the Portuguese superstar continues to redefine expectations and prove that even at 40, he remains one of football’s biggest game-changers.
