Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved that age is merely a number as the 40-year-old superstar lit up the stadium with a breathtaking bicycle kick in Al Nassr's commanding win over Al Khaleej.
The veteran
forward rolled back the years with a moment of sheer brilliance, instantly sparking comparisons to his iconic overhead strike against Juventus in the Champions League. His latest acrobatic finish-his 955th career goal-sent fans into a frenzy and quickly went viral across social media.
Al Nassr entered the match brimming with confidence, and their authority was visible from the first whistle. The team pressed high, attacked in waves, and rarely allowed Al Khaleej a moment to settle. Joao Felix, who has been steadily growing into his new role, delivered a standout performance in the opening half. Controlling the tempo with slick movement and sharp passing, he racked up both a goal and an assist to steer his side into a dominant position.

Ronaldo, too, made his presence felt early on. Twice he tested goalkeeper Moris-once with a curling attempt from distance and later with a snap shot inside the box that demanded quick reflexes. Those chances hinted at what was coming, as Al Nassr's relentless pressure finally cracked Al Khaleej's defense. Felix broke the deadlock in the 39th minute before Wesley extended the lead just moments later, capping off a clinical spell of attacking football.
Al Khaleej briefly threatened a resurgence when Murad Al-Hawsawi pulled one back right after the restart, but Sadio Mane restored the cushion midway through the second half with a tidy finish. Reduced to ten men late in the game, the visitors found it increasingly difficult to contain the home side's intensity.
And just when the match seemed to be winding down, Ronaldo delivered the moment of the night. Rising high with perfect timing, he connected with an exquisite overhead kick that left the crowd stunned and sealed Al Nassr's ninth straight win of the season. His athleticism, finesse, and ability to produce magic at crucial moments once again reinforced his legendary status.
For Al Nassr, the victory strengthens their early-season title charge. For Ronaldo, it was yet another reminder that greatness endures-no matter the age. The Riyad-based club eventually won the game 4-1.
