The celebrated British broadcaster, who is also a loyal supporter of the Premier League's Arsenal, expressed his admiration for Ronaldo's age-defying achievements on the X App, formerly known as Twitter.

"Two more goals for the GOAT tonight - that’s 30 now in 2023, one behind Haaland. Not bad for a supposed 38-year-old has-been," he wrote, accompanied by applause emojis.

Ronaldo himself has been on fire since the beginning of the 2023/24 season, serving as the driving force behind Al-Nassr's historic victory in the Arab Cup and leading the charge in the club's recent resurgence in the Saudi Pro League.

To add some perspective, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus star has astonishingly scored 30 goals in the year 2023, which includes an impressive five goals in his last two matches for the Knights of Najd, ESPN reports.

He now stands just one goal away from matching the goal-scoring sensation Erling Haaland of Manchester City, who was recently honoured as the PFA Men's Player of the Year following his remarkable treble-winning campaign, according to Football Tweet.

Ronaldo scores twice in heavy win

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane continued to showcase their outstanding goal-scoring prowess as Al-Nassr clinched back-to-back wins in the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo netted twice from penalty kicks, with Mane and Sultan Al Ghannam also finding the back of the net, propelling the Knights of Najd to an impressive 4-0 victory at Al-Awwal Park on Tuesday night.

Ronaldo's new celebration

On Tuesday, August 29, Cristiano Ronaldo unveiled a fresh goal celebration against Al Shabab while maintaining his scorching form for Al-Nassr, Sports Brief reported.

The legendary Real Madrid forward showcased this new celebration, causing it to become a social media sensation quickly.
