THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ronaldo will go down as one of the greatest players of all time and is already well past the 900-goal mark – something nobody else has done before. The Portuguese has had a glittering career but the veteran is not done yet.
DID YOU KNOW?
Al-Nassr’s victory saw them close to within five points of joint league leaders Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, although both sides have a game in hand. Ronaldo now has 85 goals in 94 games for the Saudi team.
WHAT NEXT?
Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr take a break from the league when they host Al-Wasl in the AFC Champions League on Monday.
