Watch Cristiano Ronaldo’s unique celebration as Al Nassr defeats Al Shabab 5-2 in 2023 after he scores 50 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo continued to demonstrate his incredible goal-scoring ability on Monday at Al Nassr’s King’s Cup match against Al Shabab, scoring his 50th goal of 2023. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored in the 74th minute of their quarterfinal matchup against Al Shabab, helping his club to a decisive 5-2 triumph.

The 38-year-old accomplished this amazing accomplishment with a well-placed right-footed strike from the middle of the box to the right bottom corner. Notwithstanding the significant achievement, Al Nassr’s victory was rather simple, since the Riyadh-based team had little difficulties throughout the match. Following the game, CR7 thanked his family, friends, and teammates on his official Instagram account for their continuous support. The Portuguese sensation expressed hope for more goals this year.

“Excellent win and I’m thrilled to announce my 50th goal in 2023, all because of my family, fans, and teammates’ everlasting support! This year, there’s still space for a few more,” Ronaldo said on Instagram.

Aside from his score, Ronaldo’s unique celebration of hitting the half-century mark for goals this year was another highlight of the game. Known for his famous SIU, Ronaldo created a special celebration after scoring a goal.

Look below:

Ronaldo, who is regarded as one of the finest football players in the world, has broken seemingly unbreakable records. After signing with the Saudi team Al Nassr in January 2023, he has 40 goals and 47 games played. During Portugal’s 2023–2024 EURO Qualification campaign, Ronaldo scored ten goals in nine games. The Real Madrid player has played in 15 games for Al Nassr in the current Saudi Pro League season, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists.

Ronaldo left Juventus in 2021 and later joined Manchester United again. But his time with the English club was brief and tainted by scandal. Ronaldo’s contract with United was terminated after he made inflammatory remarks against United coach Erik Ten Hag in an interview with Piers Morgan. CR7 played 54 games and scored 27 goals during his second stint at United, despite the tumultuous period.
