Cristiano Ronaldo was honoured in style by Al-Nassr ahead of their clash with Al-Ahli after hitting 900 career goals over the international break.

Ronaldo has dominated headlines once again over the international break by bagging the 900th goal of his extraordinary career during Portugal’s Nations League clash with Croatia.

The 39-year-old is now back with club side Al-Nassr and was presented with a special ‘GOAT’ jersey with the number 900 on the back ahead of Friday’s Saudi Pro League side with Al-Ahli.

An impressive tifo carrying the messages ‘900 goals’ and ‘Only heroes achieve glory’ was also on display in the stands.

However, this mental boost could not help Ronaldo have a successful match day. Until the 90th minute, CR7 only had one shot from the free kick at a distance of about 20 meters.

In the 5th minute of extra time, Ronaldo was given a delicious opportunity from a pass from teammate Sultan Al Ghannam. However, the Portuguese superstar missed the post. After 90 minutes, Fotmob gave Ronaldo 6.4 points for his lackluster performance.

Since the beginning of the season, the former Man Utd star has scored in 6 consecutive matches at both club and national team level. But against Al Ahli, Ronaldo was completely silent.

In this match, Al Ahli opened the scoring thanks to Franck Kessie in the 57th minute. The away team with good players like Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and new signing Ivan Toney organized a tight defense after scoring, causing many difficulties for Al Nassr.

The home team controlled the ball 59%, fired 19 shots, but only 4 were on target. Al Nassr’s play was quite disjointed. It was thanks to an own goal by defender Bassam Mohammed Alhurayji in the 90+9 minute that Al Nassr escaped defeat.

With this 1-1 draw, Al Nassr temporarily ranked 6th with 5 points after 3 rounds. Meanwhile, defending champion Al Hilal leads with 6 points, having played 1 match less. With unstable performance, Al Nassr is predicted to have difficulty overthrowing its opponent.
