After scoring a stunning winner for Al Nassr in their 5–1 victory over Al Fateh, Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to send out a powerful message amid his quest to score 1,000 career goals.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner sent the crowd at Al-Awwal Park to its feet when he rifled home a world-class strike from distance in the 60th minute. The goal, assisted by former Liverpool star Sadio Mané, came just one minute after Ronaldo failed to convert from the spot.
The Portuguese phenom basked in the moment with Al Nassr’s supporters and his teammates before going on to help the hosts secure all three points in what wound up being a lopsided victory thanks to João Félix’s hat trick.
After the win, Ronaldo shared the following message across his social media platforms: “Success is not an accident.”
