Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Masterclass Free-Kick as Al-Nassr Cruise Past Al-Feiha
The 39-year-old Portuguese superstar reminded everyone why he’s considered one of the greatest footballers of all time with a sublime free-kick goal that showcased his incredible technique and precision. Against Al-Feiha in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo brought his A-game, converting a free-kick that sent the Al-Nassr fans into raptures.
With this goal, Ronaldo’s 899th career goal, he is just one shy of the historic 900-mark. Notably, his national team record stands at an impressive 130 goals, making him the absolute top of the standings.
Ronaldo’s approach to the free-kick was different from his usual tactics. Instead of relying on raw power, he opted for a more measured and precise approach, which allowed him to outsmart the goalkeeper and score his 64th career goal through a free-kick. This masterclass finish put him just one goal shy of his arch-rival Lionel Messi’s tally in club football.
As you’d expect, Twitter was quick to react to Ronaldo’s incredible feat:
"Make sure you share this Freekick goal everywhere same way you shared his misses. Cristiano Ronaldo, the Greatest to ever kick a ball!" @_AsiwajuLerry tweeted.
And from another angle, it’s clear just how magnificent this goal was:
"OMFG THIS ANGLE OF RONALDO FREEKICK" @NoodleHairCR7 exclaimed.
In an interview, Ronaldo spoke about reaching the 1000-goal milestone, admitting it won’t be easy, but expressing his confidence in his ability to reach the record. With his current form and determination, it’s no wonder he’s got the confidence to break the barrier.
Al-Nassr’s 4-1 win against Al-Feiha was undoubtedly down to Ronaldo’s influence, and he proved once again why he’s an unstoppable force on the pitch.
