Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates historical win over Al Tai
After 25 matches in the Saudi Pro League, the squad is still 12 points behind leaders Al-Hilal, despite Ronaldo’s heroics and Al Nassr’s most recent win. The extraordinary hat trick scored by the Portuguese soccer great, who scored all three goals in the second half, was the icing on the cake for Saturday’s matchup.
The former Real Madrid great, who is now 39 years old, celebrated his 64th career hat trick and his second of the season on social media to share the joy with his supporters.
“This is how we do it,” Ronaldo captioned a post on X (previously Twitter) in which he shared match clicks. What a fantastic win and another hat trick!
In Tuesday’s Pro League match against Abha, Al-Nassr and Ronaldo still have a shot at stealing Al-Hilal’s championship. On April 5, they’ll head to Damac.
