Cristiano Ronaldo Returns to Al-Nassr with a Goal in 4-0 Victory
Cristiano Ronaldo made his much-anticipated return to Al-Nassr on Friday night, contributing to a 4-0 victory against Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old forward came off the bench and scored his first goal of the 2026-27 season, bringing his career total to 977 goals.
Ronaldo started the match on the bench as new head coach Ange Postecoglou managed his return after an extended break. He entered the game in the 62nd minute, with Al-Nassr already leading 3-0 thanks to goals from Abdulelah Al-Amri, Angelo, and Joao Felix. Ronaldo quickly made his presence felt, scoring in the 83rd minute after receiving a pass from Ayman Yahya.
This match marked Ronaldo's first competitive appearance since missing the opening games of the season due to his recent wedding and Portugal's World Cup run. His goal not only secured the win but also extended his remarkable scoring streak to 25 consecutive professional seasons, a first in soccer history. Following the match, Ronaldo shared a photo with his teammates, expressing his joy at returning to the field.
