VIDEO – Ronaldo’s magnificent free kick goal

Cristiano Ronaldo found the fault this Saturday with a wonderful free kick during Al Nassr’s match against Damac.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to showcase his talent in the Saudi championship. This Saturday, he distinguished himself in what was his favorite exercise during his youth. Namely the free kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo, top scorer in 2023

During the match between his team Al Nassr and Damac, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner made a splash with this set piece. At 56e minute, and while the score was one goal everywhere, he fired a sumptuous shot from 25 meters and the ball ended up in the top corner. The opposing goalkeeper remained unmoved throughout the action.

With this achievement, Ronaldo is at 41 goals scored in the 2023 calendar year alone. No one in the world has done better. The one who follows him in this ranking is Erling Haaland, with 40 goals. After his goal against Strasbourg, the French Kylian Mbappé is 36.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star is of course the best director in the Saudi Pro League after 10 contested days. He found the net 11 times. This is 4 goals more than his trio of pursuers: Aleksandr Mitrovic, Moussa Dembélé and Mourad Batna (7 goals each).
