What's next for Ronaldo?

Ronaldo has had a great start since joining Al-Nassr in January, scoring 11 goals in nine league games while dishing out two assists.

The Portuguese forward will be hoping to keep up his excellent form when Al-Nassr takes on Al Feiha on Sunday, April 9.

Despite the comprehensive victory, Al-Nassr still trail league leaders Al Ittihad by a solitary point with eight games left to play.

Ronaldo penned a two-year deal with Al-Nassr worth an estimated £175 million annually, the biggest salary ever paid to a football star.

Ronaldo also got a staggering £85 million signing-on bonus to sweeten the deal.

Young girl mimics Ronaldo

Sports Brief earlier that a young football fan donning an Al-Nassr jersey copied Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siuu' during their match against Al-Adalah on Tuesday evening.

The cute girl imitated the Portugal captain's celebration as he runs towards the corner flag after breaking the game's deadlock to hit the popular 'Siuu'.

In the short video shared on social media, she crossed her arms before parting them like how Ronaldo does when he scores a goal.
