Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 21st goal of the season and his fourth in the Asian Champions League on Wednesday as his moment of magic proved decisive in Al Nassr beating Al Fayha 1-0 in an all-Saudi last 16 tie.
Al Nassr crushed Inter Miami 6-0 as injury ruled Cristiano Ronaldo out of a much-hyped showdown with Lionel Messi, who was limited to a late substitute appearance in Thursday's friendly in Riyadh.
Luis Castro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s coach at Al Nassr, thanked the fans from Bangladesh for their “dedication and loyalty” towards the Saudi Pro League outfit.
Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo said he ‘no longer believed’ in two of football’s greatest individual accolades after he won three awards at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai on Friday.
About to turn 39 in two weeks’ time, Cristiano Ronaldo said that he was proud to be able to beat the likes of Erling Haaland in terms of goals scored in the previous year.
Chinese football fans raced on Wednesday to snap up tickets to see Cristiano Ronaldo play a rare match in their home country, with multiple online platforms selling out within a few hours.
He will turn 39 next February. Approaching an age even long before which athletes are removed from their peak, Cristiano Ronaldo does not seem to be stopping any time soon.
Messi and Ronaldo, who have faced each other more than 30 times in their careers, have won 13 Ballon d'Or awards between them, with the Argentine leading that race eight to five.
Nassr ended the group stage unbeaten, with four victories and two draws.
