Cristiano Ronaldo stuns fans with another long-range goal

Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has hit another spectacular goal of 40-yard in the Saudi Pro League, CNN reported on Saturday.

As per the report, Ronaldo scored twice in three minutes to ease Al Nassr to a 3-0 victory over Al Okhdood on Friday.

He scored his first, an impressive angled shot from close range, in the 77th minute and then followed it up with a strike which led to widespread praise on social media.

He took a sublime first touch with his chest, setting him up for a lob which fell perfectly into the net, beating goalkeeper Paulo Vitor who had lost the ball when coming out of his own box.

“One. for. the. ages,” Al Nassr said on X, formerly known as Twitter, of the goal.

It was Ronaldo’s 15th goal in 13 league appearances this season and the win moved Al Nassr to second in the league.

The 38-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year contract estimated by media to be worth more than 200 million euros ($220.16 million) with Al Nassr and made his debut in January.

While his impressive numbers in the Saudi top division are notable, his overall goal count across illustrious stints in three of Europe's top five leagues and now in the Middle East is simply astounding.

The former Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus star has amassed a total of 527 goals across first-division competitions, conquering the Saudi Pro League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Liga Portugal, as reported by Mail Sport. His remarkable tally means Ronaldo has scored the most first-division goals in football history.

Having achieved this latest hallmark, the legendary Portuguese footballer now shifts his focus to the Asian Champions League, as Al Nassr prepares to face the Iranian side Persepolis on Monday, November 27.
