Cristiano Ronaldo has maintained his goal-scoring spree over the years, no matter whichever club he has played for. The veteran seems to be doing the same in his latest stint with the Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. The 38-year-old is consistently stepping up and delivering in his matches for the club.
The Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo recently helped Al-Nassr to win the Arab Club Championship. The number seven has been an important on-field presence for the team in their matches. The 38-year-old has 37 goal-contributions for the Saudi side including his goals and assists so far.
According to the reports. CR7 was recently spotted untying the shoelaces of Al-Nassr’s defender Al-Amri during the club’s AFC Champions League clash against Al-Duhail. The 26-year-old defender was on the ground reflecting some dire pain. This was when the Al-Nassr’s number seven stepped in and tried to untie the defender’s shoelaces with the help of his teeth.

The media will not show you this, because it doesn’t fit their agenda against Ronaldo.

The reported post was further targeted towards the media for not showing this type of gratuitous helping stunt by CR7, due to their agenda against the player. However, fans around the world reacted after witnessing the event.
One of the fans commented – “My goat, Very humble”. Another one stated –“The anti-Ronaldo will never show you this”. Another fan chipped in and inflicted – “and that too with his teeth”. It can be inferred that fans were impressed by this beautiful gesture from their legendary player.
My goat. Very humble

Over the years, the Portugal forward has often come across as a very polite and well-behaved personality in his several off-the-field and on-field appearances. But, this act by the veteran of helping out one of his teammates during the match, has certainly won over his fans.
Al-Nassr prevails over Al-Duhail in an important AFC Champions League clash aided by a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo
Al-Nassr attacking midfielder Talisca gave them an early lead against Al-Duhail in the AFC Champions League match. The Brazilian scored in the 25th minute of the game. Al-Nassr’s number ten Sadio Mane double his team’s advantage by netting in the 56th minute.
However, then CR7 stepped in and scored in the 61st minute of the game to get the scoreline to 3-0 in the favour of his team. It seemed like Al-Nassr was running away with the game. But, suddenly Al-Duhail fought back and scored two quick goals to get the match score to 3-2.
Just when it looked like Al-Duhail was coming back into the game, Cristiano delivered and eased the tension around the home fans in the stadium. The veteran scored an 81st-minute goal to slide his team into a 4-2 lead. Despite a late goal from Al-Duhail’s Michael Olunga, Al-Nassr managed to win the game 4-3.
With this win the club now sits on the top of their Group E table of the AFC Champions League. They have won three out of their first three matches in the competition.
CR7’s brace proved to be a game-changer for the club, just when the game seemed to be drifting away from them. Fans would hope that the 38-year-old continues to step up in such precious situations.
