Ronaldo turns back time with outrageous bicycle kick as Al Nassr cruise

Cristiano Ronaldo reminded everyone that the script still bends around him. In a 4-1 win for Al Nassr over Al Khaleej, the Portuguese superstar produced a stunning overhead bicycle kick deep into stoppage time, a goal that felt more like a signature than a finish.

“Best caption wins!” the 40-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner wrote on X after his 96th-minute strike, a moment that instantly echoed his legendary Champions League bicycle kick for Real Madrid against Juventus in 2018.

This was goal number 954 of Ronaldo’s career, a statistic that feels almost surreal at this point. And it capped off another dominant night for Al Nassr, who now sit four points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League after nine matches.

Joao Felix and Sadio Mane also found the net, underlining the depth of star power in this Riyadh side. Yet, as usual, the spotlight swung back to Ronaldo. Not just for scoring, but for the way he did it. The leap, the timing, the audacity. Vintage Ronaldo, unapologetically.

There is still one loose thread in the story. Despite moments like this, Ronaldo has yet to lift a trophy since arriving in Saudi Arabia nearly three years ago. The goals keep coming. The silverware still waits.
