Cristiano Ronaldo is still banging in the goals for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr at the age of 39.
Ronaldo made the move to the Middle East a month after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as he closed the chapter on his extraordinary European career.
Al Nassr boast an impressive collection of 28 official trophies and domestically, the club has clinched nine Pro League titles, six King Cups, three Crown Prince’s Cups, three Federation Cups, and two Super Cups.
While Ronaldo’s side lost out on a league title to Al Ittihad last season, they’re fighting with Neymar’s Al Hilal this season to win the Saudi Pro League. They are also in the hunt to become winners of the AFC Champions League for the very first time.
The Sporting News will be keeping an eye on Ronaldo’s progress and providing updates on his fitness and availability throughout the 2023/24 season.
