🔥How close is he to 1,000? Cristiano starts the season scoring

Cristiano Ronaldo commenced his 25th professional season with a goal, propelling Al Nassr to a 4-0 victory over Al Riyadh. With this win, the Portuguese striker's personal goal tally ascended to 978, swiftly propelling him toward the coveted 1,000-goal mark. Ronaldo's impact was immediate after he replaced a starter and played the final half hour of the match.

Despite beginning as a substitute, Ronaldo showcased remarkable attacking flair, sealing the triumph five minutes from the match's end with a precise left-footed strike. João Félix, who scored once and delivered a crucial assist, delivered an exceptional performance, further solidifying his standing as a key player under Ange Postecoglou's management.

This victory not only highlights Ronaldo's unyielding goal-scoring drive as he approaches the last stage of his illustrious career but also underscores Félix's invaluable contribution to the team's success.
