Cristiano Ronaldo continues to show why he remains one of football’s greatest icons, delivering a breathtaking bicycle-kick goal for Al Nassr in their latest Saudi Pro League clash. At 40 years old, the Portuguese legend once again proved that age has not slowed him down, scoring a spectacular acrobatic volley in the closing seconds of the match at Al Awwal Park in Riyadh.
The moment came when Ronaldo connected perfectly with a cross from Nawaf Boushal, lifting himself into the air and firing an unstoppable overhead strike past the Al Khaleej goalkeeper. The powerful finish marked his 10th goal of the league season and added yet another highlight to his illustrious career.
This latest goal also pushes his career tally to 954 goals, drawing comparisons to his iconic 2018 Champions League bicycle kick for Real Madrid against Juventus. Ronaldo has made a habit of producing extraordinary overhead finishes, including one against Poland in the Nations League last year.
Returning to club action after international duty — where he was controversially sent off against Ireland — Ronaldo helped Al Nassr secure a dominant 4-1 victory, with João Félix, Wesley, and Sadio Mané also finding the net. Despite his goal-scoring brilliance, Ronaldo has yet to lift a trophy with Al Nassr since joining them in 2023.
In a recent update about his future, Ronaldo confirmed that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be his final appearance on football’s biggest stage. Admitting that retirement is approaching, the Portugal captain said the next World Cup will mark the end of his international journey as he approaches age 41. The only major trophy missing from his legendary career remains the World Cup — a title he came closest to in 2006 before Portugal were eliminated by France.
