Cristiano Ronaldo achieved a stunning lobbed goal for Al-Nassr, quickly earning acclaim as the ‘goal of the season’ among fans.

The renowned five-time Ballon d’Or recipient once again showcased his goal-scoring prowess for the Saudi Pro League team, securing a brace in their dominant 3-0 victory against Al-Akhdoud at home. Ronaldo’s return to the squad post his international duties with Portugal proved highly fruitful, boosting his tally to 15 league goals this season.

It wasn’t until the 77th minute that the 38-year-old maestro found the net, executing a remarkable goal by controlling the ball, maneuvering into position, and skillfully slotting it home from a challenging angle, making it 2-0 after Sami Al Naji’s initial goal in the first half.

True to his style, Ronaldo outshone himself with his second goal, seizing an opportunity as the Al-Akhdoud goalkeeper, Paulo Vitor, was stranded out of his box after making a save. The ball fell to Ronaldo, who adeptly controlled it with his chest and executed a lob from nearly 30 yards out, sending the ball soaring high into the air.

Ecstatic with his feat, which seemed to send the ball on an interstellar journey, the Manchester United icon jubilantly celebrated the strike with his teammates. This remarkable performance capped off an impressive night for Ronaldo, tallying his goals to 24 in all competitions for Al-Nassr.

On social media, fans showered praise on the breathtaking strike, with one user expressing, “This is undoubtedly the goal of the season.” Others marveled at Ronaldo’s consistent brilliance, despite his advancing years, noting, “He’s improving every day, incredible.” Another fan went so far as to demand, “Give this man another Ballon d’Or.”

Ronaldo’s team now trails leaders Al-Hilal by just one point, although the latter has a game in hand. His 15 league goals surpass the league’s second-highest scorer, former Fulham striker Aleksander Mitrovic, who plays for the current leaders.

Furthermore, Ronaldo joins an elite group of eight Saudi League players to score a hat-trick this season, sharing this feat with former Real Madrid colleague Karim Benzema and Liverpool legend Roberto Firmino.
