Ronaldo Shines with Goal and Assist in Al Nassr’s 4-1 Win Over Al-Feiha
Cristiano Ronaldo, the former goal-scoring sensation for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, has declared that this is just the start after his standout performance in Al Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Al-Feiha on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old forward made a significant impact in the match, contributing both a goal and an assist.
Ronaldo played a crucial role in the game, first assisting Talisca with the opening goal just five minutes into the match at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Buraydah.
He then scored himself, netting his first free-kick of the season during the tenth minute of stoppage time. This goal marked his 64th free-kick in his career for both club and country, bringing him just one goal away from equaling Lionel Messi’s record.
With his latest goal, Ronaldo reached a remarkable milestone, bringing his career total to 899 goals across all clubs and national teams.
His performance also included an additional assist, with Marcelo Brozovic scoring Al Nassr’s third goal in the 85th minute.
Despite a late goal from Al-Feiha, Talisca restored Al Nassr’s three-goal advantage with his second of the match in the final minutes of stoppage time.
Despite this impressive win, Ronaldo and his team are still two points behind the surprising league leaders, Al-Qadisiyah.
Following the match, Ronaldo took to X to rally his teammates and fans, declaring, “This is only the beginning! Let’s go @AlNassrFC!”
Ronaldo’s enthusiasm and leadership on and off the pitch continue to inspire his team as they aim for a successful season.
Former English Referee Mike Dean reacts to Arsenal’s penalty in the Premier league match against Everton.
Speaking to the press, the former referee shares his thoughts on the penalty given to Arsenal.
“There’s a bit of contact outside and there’s a little bit of contact inside. I think it’s a soft one. It’s probably not wrong, but it’s a soft one.”
“I don’t know why Lewis-Skelly doesn’t go to attack it… Harrison gets the wrong side of him. I think this is awfully soft, but it’s gone to VAR…
“I can see why it was given in real time. But watching it again, there’s hardly a touch.”
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has explained his decision to leave Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson out of the starting lineup for Sunday’s match against Brentford. Fans were surprised when the team sheets were released and both players were named on the bench.
Maresca made several changes from the side that won 1-0 against Tottenham on Thursday, including leaving out Pedro Neto, Marc Cucurella, and Levi Colwill, likely to manage player fatigue with the upcoming Conference League quarter-final first leg against Legia Warszawa in mind.
“It’s part of the game plan. I believe the players starting today are the right choices for this match,” Maresca said in his post-match comments to the BBC.
Chelsea is aiming for a win to boost their chances of climbing back into the top four spots in the league.
Vinicius Jr. has hit a major career milestone by matching Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário’s goal tally at Real Madrid. The 23-year-old forward netted his 104th goal for the club during their 2-1 loss to Valencia, drawing level with his idol.
Despite the disappointing result, Vinicius expressed pride in the personal achievement. Speaking after the game, he called it a special moment and reflected on the influence Ronaldo had on him when he first arrived at the club.
“It means a lot to me to reach the same number of goals as Ronaldo,” he said. “He was my role model when I joined Madrid as a kid. This was a tough match, but at Real Madrid, we never stop fighting.”
Earlier in January, Vinicius had mentioned that he was just a few goals shy of matching Ronaldo’s record. Now that he’s done it, he’s setting his sights even higher and hopes to keep scoring more for the club.
The defeat to Valencia, however, dealt a blow to Madrid’s title hopes, with the team needing to bounce back quickly in the coming fixtures.
