‘Keep winning!’ - Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to reaching another personal milestone with 17th goal of the season for Al-Nassr

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was in continental action with Al-Nassr on Monday as they took on Tajik club Istiklol. Ronaldo helped to turn that game around after seeing his side trail 1-0 at half-time, with the all-time great netting a delightful chip just past the hour mark.

Ronaldo has now recorded 17 goals through just 16 appearances in the 2023-24 campaign. The evergreen frontman is showing no sign of slowing down at 38 years of age and remains as determined as ever to get his hands on more trophies.

He is now up and running in the AFC Champions League, as another entry is added to his remarkable record book, and his exploits continue to inspire an Al-Nassr side that has claimed six successive victories in all competitions. Ronaldo has posted on social media: “Good game from everyone on the team! Happy to have scored my 1st #ACL champions league goal! We keep winning!”

Ronaldo has already bettered his goal return from last season – when he found the target on 14 occasions – and is closing in on a standing inside the top five of Al-Nassr’s all-time leading goalscorers, despite having been on their books for less than 12 months.
