Cristiano Ronaldo's goal for Al Nassr (YouTube)
Amid reports that he is dissatisfied and wants to leave, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a beautiful goal on Tuesday night to give Al Nassr victory. CR7's team fell behind 2-0 against Al Shabab, but made a turnaround which the Portuguese completed in the 59th minute with a kick from just outside the area. 2:3 at the end.
After scoring and being congratulated by his teammates, Ronaldo knelt down in the Sajda movement – the well-known Muslim prayer – which in football is known as thanking many Muslim footballers after they score goals or win games. The Portuguese's teammates were enthusiastic and applauded.
Thanks to the victory, Al Nassar is still in the championship picture of winning. With two rounds left to finish the season, Ronaldo's team have 63 points while their leaders, Al Ittihad, have 66.
Ronaldo has 13 goals since arriving in the Saudi league mid-season and yesterday he scored against his 180th opponent. No player in history has scored against so many different teams. "The Saudi league is getting better and better and next season it will be much better," said the Portuguese, "step by step, I believe that in the end the Saudi league will be among the five best leagues in the world. But you need time and players."
