Ronaldo was responsible for every goal of his team.
Cristiano Ronaldo put on a show in the Saudi Arabian League on Thursday.
The Portuguese striker scored all the goals in the match, when Al Nassr, which he represented, defeated Al Wehda 4–0 on the away field.
Ronaldo started his goal production in the 21st minute. The 3-0 result was a penalty kick at the start of the second period. At the hour mark, there were already four goals.
The win was an expected result, as Al Wehda is struggling against relegation in 13th place. Al Nassr, on the other hand, is the top team in the league table. Al Nassr are level on 37 points with Al Shabab but have played one fewer match.
Ronaldo’s contract with Saudi Arabia was confirmed after the World Cup in Qatar. Just before the World Cup, his contract with Manchester United was terminated.
The Madeira native was lured to Saudi Arabia with a huge pile of money. According to the information, he earns around 70 million euros per season. However, the amount is believed to be closer to 200 million when all bonuses are included.
At the same time, it is believed that Saudi Arabia is trying to use Ronaldo in the country’s sportswear. The oil country aims to host the World Cup in 2030. Al Nassr’s background funder is Qiddiya Investment Company, which in turn is owned by the Saudi Arabian investment fund PIF, led by the country’s prime minister.
Ronaldo has scored five goals in the Saudi Arabian league this season.
