Matchday 3 of the Saudi Pro League saw Al Nassr crush Al Riyadh 5-1, led by a vintage performance from 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar netted twice and reminded everyone that age is just a number.
Felix and Coman opened the scoring early before Ronaldo struck in the 33rd minute, latching onto a brilliant through ball from Felix. In the second half, Ronaldo sealed his brace after a selfless assist from Coman, putting the result beyond doubt.
But the drama wasn’t only on the pitch. Al Riyadh supporters repeatedly chanted “Messi” in an attempt to rattle Ronaldo. Instead, CR7 delivered the perfect response—pointing to his ear and spreading his arms, signaling that their jeers meant nothing to him.
In the past, Ronaldo has reacted emotionally to such taunts, sometimes even facing disciplinary action. Now, he has mastered the art of answering critics in the best way possible: with goals and victories.
