After a quiet Euro 2024 campaign with Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo is back with a vengeance! The 39-year-old football legend silenced critics by delivering a goal and an assist in Al-Nassr’s 2-0 Saudi Super Cup semifinal win over Al-Taawoun on Thursday. 💥
Ronaldo set the tone early, threading a clever pass to Ayman Yahya for the opener in the 8th minute. Al-Taawoun’s Brazilian goalkeeper Mailson Santos kept the game interesting with sharp saves, but CR7 sealed the deal in the 57th minute with a clinical finish off Sultan Al-Ghannam’s cross. ⚡
Fans erupted as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner nearly scored again, rattling the crossbar moments later. Now, all eyes are on Saturday’s final against rivals Al-Hilal. Will Ronaldo’s resurgence bring home the trophy? 🏆
While his Instagram posts have been scarce lately, his on-field performance proves he’s still got that magic. As one fan tweeted: 'Age is just a number for GOATnaldo!' 🐐
