Ronaldo was on target alongside Ayman Yahya as Al-Nassr managed to hold Al-Shabab to a 2-2 draw in the Saudi Pro League on Friday. The draw left the Saudi club fourth on the points table, as they are now 10 points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad with as many matches left in the 2024/5 campaign.

WHAT CRISTIANO RONALDO SAID
Ahead of the game, when the Portuguese icon was warming up, a look-a-like fan arrived in the stands, wearing a Selecao shirt. As Ronaldo spotted the fan, he jokingly said: "Bro, you don't look like me. You don't look like me, you are very ugly." The fan, in response, called his idol the 'best' as the 40-year-old winked, smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
With two crucial points dropped on Friday, Ronaldo's dream of winning the league title in Saudi Arabia continues to remain a distant one. The player is in the final few months of his contract at Al-Nassr, but it has been reported that he might pen a new deal with the Saudi giants that will see him earn âŹ183 million (ÂŁ154m/$188m) annually, which will establish his position as the highest-paid footballer in the world.
