He has also joined the greatest squad in the nation, with Rudi Garcia’s team leading the league by one point and having a game left to play.
Former Benfica and Besiktas star Anderson Talisca and Argentine attacker Gonzalo Nicolas Martinez joined Ronaldo in the attack.
Talisca scored the decisive goal for Al-Nassr with a thunderous header when he was on target in the 31st minute.
Funnily enough, the cross had just evaded Ronaldo’s monstrous leap as he attacked the ball at full throttle.
Despite a lack of goals, Ronaldo’s Saudi journey started on a positive note with a precious victory – the 751st of his professional career.
There was one brief moment that showed CR7 really does still have it as he dropped a defender to the turf.
As his defenseless opponent fell to his knees, Ronaldo attacked his marker, checked back, and pretended to transfer the ball.
The next time Ronaldo shot, it went wide of the goal, but it was a moment that undoubtedly had the home crowd up and moving.
In addition, he was wearing the No. 7 jersey and the captain’s armband, as he had done in November during Ronaldo’s United farewell game against Aston Villa, which United lost 3-1.
