Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks the Internet With His Long awaited First Goal for Al Nassr

• Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 499 league goals in his senior career
• The former Manchester United ace delivered a clutch moment in Al-Nassr's 2-2 draw with Al-Fateh
• His first competitive goal for Al-Nassr came against the 548th-best team in world football

Cristiano Ronaldo belatedly opened his goal-scoring account in his third outing for Al-Nassr on Friday evening.

The 35-year-old, who has endured a slow start to life in Saudi, scored a stoppage-time penalty to salvage a draw for his side against Al-Fateh.

Prior to his maiden strike for Al-Nassr, Ronaldo was subject to a lot of slander on social media, particularly due to his misfortune in front of the goal.

The Real Madrid goal-scoring legend spurned two good opportunities while seeing his first-half effort also ruled out for offside.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo will have the last laugh, scoring his 820th career goal to earn his side an important point on the road, GOAL reports.

According to Opta Power Rankings, Cristiano Ronaldo’s first competitive goal for Al-Nassr came against the 548th-best team in world football.

"Of course, Ronaldo's first goal in the Saudi league is a penalty."

@CFC_Janty, who appears to be a Ronaldo fan tweeted:

"Cristiano Ronaldo breaks the record for the most goals in Football history previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo."

Another Ronaldo fan @Hannahbxb added:

"Cristiano Ronaldo scores his first goal for Al Nassr and it's a penalty. Call him Penaldo, we don't care because he's still our GOAT."

@tjf81 had a completely different opinion:

"Financially secure but he’d have been better off retiring a couple of years ago when he must have realised he couldn’t compete with the best anymore."

@FPLDisasterClas aimed a sly dig at Ronaldo's goal:

"They don't call him Penaldo for no reason!"

Here is Ronaldo's first goal:

Ronaldo scores first Al-Nassr goal

Cristiano Ronaldo finally ended his goal-scoring drought for Al-Nassr during his side's 2-2 draw with Al-Fateh.

Having played 180 minutes without finding the back of the net, it was incumbent on the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to address his frustrating start to life in Saudi.

The former Manchester United ace heeded the call despite missing two sitters and seeing his first-half strike correctly ruled out for offside, per Sky Sports.

Ronaldo's future destination revealed

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is bound to return to Europe to round up his career, Al-Nassr manager Rudi Garcia has revealed, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner and Real Madrid's all-time record goal scorer had an inch-perfect career in Europe, causing records to seamlessly tumble before him.

On his arrival at Al-Nassr, the 37-year-old stated emphatically his time in Europe is done, hence his sojourn in Saudi Arabia, per Indian Express.
