Watch Ronaldo Destroy Defender With Sublime Skill on His Al Nassr Debut

• Cristiano Ronaldo continued his sterling performance against PSG in his Saudi League debut
• The veteran captained Al-Nassr to a crucial win over Al-Etiffaq to stand atop the league table
• The 37-year-old forward had earlier produced a filthy nutmeg on PSG midfielder Carlos Soler

Cristiano Ronaldo produced one of the highlight reel moments during Al-Nassr's narrow win over Al-Etiffaq.

The Portuguese maestro rolled back the years to pull off a sublime piece skill from his trickery chest, much to the cheer of the fans at the Mrsool Park.

Ronaldo outsmarted his marker by shaping to shoot, only to chop back in characteristic fashion, which saw his marker helplessly fall to the pitch.

Unfortunately, his effort after the trickery did not yield the expected result, as a combination of the goalkeeper and the Al-Etiffaq defence dealt with the danger.

Nonetheless, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United frontman will end his first official game on the winning side, MARCA reports.

Strike partner, Anderson Talisca netted the only goal of the match, as Al-Nassr moved to the top of the Saudi Pro League despite playing one game less than closest rivals, Al-Hilal.

Ronaldo would hope to add goals to his trickery when his new team faces Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup on Thursday, January 26, per Besoccer.
