Ronaldo Responds to Al Nassr's Latest Win

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al Nassr, commented on his team's victory over Damac in the seventeenth round of the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo scored in the away win, helping Al Nassr reclaim second place, four points behind leaders Al Hilal.

He posted on X: We keep pushing, we keep believing in ourselves, we keep fighting.

That goal brought him to 960 in his career and widened his lead as the league's top scorer with 16.

Al Nassr now face a tough test Saturday against Al Taawoun as they seek more wins after a 3-2 victory over Al Shabab.

Ronaldo's 960th goal moves him closer to the 1000-goal milestone.

Next up: Al Nassr vs Al Taawoun, as they push to extend their streak and sharpen their edge in the title race.

Punchline: Ronaldo doesn't miss—he redefines the goalpost as a suggestion.

Punchline 2: If goals paid rent, Ronaldo would own the block by now.
