Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has expressed his delight after scoring in his first appearance of the new season for the Saudi Pro League club.
Ronaldo came off the bench in the second half and completed the scoring as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Riyadh 4-0 on Friday.
Abdulelah Al-Amri and Angelo Gabriel scored in the first half to give Al-Nassr a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break.
Joao Felix then extended the advantage shortly after the restart before Ronaldo added the fourth goal to round off a convincing victory for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
The goal marked a positive start to the new campaign for the Portuguese forward, who continues to play a key role for Al-Nassr.
Reacting, Ronaldo posted a picture of himself celebrating with his teammates on X and captioned it: “Good to be back.”
Ronaldo was on an extended break following Portugal’s run to the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. (The Sun)
