Cristiano Ronaldo provided a stunning assist during Al Nassr’s Saudi Professional League clash against Al Taawoun.
Ever since the five-time Ballon d’Or winner announced his move to the Middle East after his second stint with Manchester United ended bitterly, the attention towards football in Saudi Arabia has grown massively.
On Friday, Ronaldo captained Al Nassr as they took on fifth-placed side Al Taawoun.
With just 17 minutes on the clock, Ronaldo showcased his immense talent as he played a spectacular defence-splitting pass for Abdulrahman Abdullah Ghareeb to score the game’s opening goal.
Many thought Ronaldo will not be the same player as he was a few years ago after his move to Saudi Arabia but he has reminded everyone what he is still capable of.
Fans were quick to react to Ronaldo’s stunning assist.
One said: “Best pass of his career to be fair. Class assist.”
Another tweeted: “The best playmaker of all time when he wants to be.”

A third fan added: “Ronaldo is cooking that league.”
Someone else commented: “Is this not De Bruyne??”
Whilst a fifth person wrote: “When did Messi had an assist like that last time? Ronaldo is better in every way possible. The Goat.”
Just last week, Ronaldo moved past the 500 career league goal mark after scoring four goals as Al Nassr beat Al Wehda 4-0.
His manager, Rudi Garcia told reporters: “Ronaldo has reached a great stage of homogeneity and harmony with his teammates.
“Over time, his team-mates realised what he wanted and when he will score. I think it was a good night for Cristiano Ronaldo because he scored four goals.”
The Portugal legend now has 503 league goals to his name after scoring for five different clubs in five different leagues.
Ronaldo scored three goals for Sporting Lisbon, 103 over two seasons at United, 311 for Real Madrid, 81 for Serie A giants Juventus plus the five goals he currently has scored for Al Nassr.
Is Ronaldo the GOAT? Let us know in the comments.

Most illiterate and rubbish fans are Messi's fans. They are not Argentina or any club supporters, they are Messi's supporters. No matter what happens, my Messi is best to them. Like though my father is a thief, he is the best person in my life. Rubbish supporters compare Messi with Ronaldo. How can they? Look at Argentina team and Portugal team, then compare. And you are telling about world cup, it was a clear robbery. Although robbery is in their blood(Meradona earlier). FIFA just tried their best to give him a world cup. They gave et least one penalty at the start of the match. And it happened for all of the games for them. And if you are a football fan, not blind fan of any player, look back and see, all of the penalties were illegal. So, what's the point? He robbed one Balon D'or from Ronaldo, one from Lewendeski. They give a best award by the vote of fucking journalists and captains. And they gave their favourite player support, apart from performance. It's a corrupted world, you believe it or not!!!!
