  • Cristiano Ronaldo has netted seven times in the Saudi Pro League this season
  • His teammate, Sadio Mane, follows closely with six league goals
  • The pair have been involved in 17 goals combined

Goal scoring is an art that only a few can master. Every club has a chief goal-scorer who shoulders the burden of putting the ball into the back of the net.

But some clubs are lucky enough to have prolific goal-scoring duos, where two players combine to share the responsibility.

In the ever-evolving world of football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane have undeniably solidified their status as one of the world's most formidable attacking duos.

The synergy between these two superstars has been nothing short of spectacular, redefining the art of partnership on the pitch.

Ronaldo and Mane partnerhsip

The Al-Nassr pair of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are one of the most prolific goal-scoring duo in the world. Together, they have been involved in 18 goals combined in just six games in the league this season.

Ronaldo is leading the line with seven goals scored and four assists provided. He is currently both the top goal-scorer and assist provider in the Saudi Pro League.

Mane, on the other hand, is having a great season. He has scored six league goals, only behind Ronaldo and Al-Hilal winger Salem Al-Dawsari in the Saudi Pro League top goal-scorers list. However, he has not provided an assist so far this season.

Mane scores against Al Raed

Senegalese forward Mane continued his red-hot form in the Saudi Pro League after netting his sixth goal in five games to give Al Nassr the lead in the match against Al Raed.

Having returned from the international break two days ago, Mane quickly joined his teammates as preparation for the game against Al Raed started in earnest.

The 31-year-old ensured the Knights of Najd took a deserved lead in their first game after the break.

Ronaldo scores golazo

Sports Brief also reported earlier that Cristiano Ronaldo maintained his impressive goal-scoring form, netting a remarkable goal as Al-Nassr secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Al Raed in the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo, who currently tops the goal-scoring charts in the Saudi top flight, delivered a decisive blow to seal Al-Nassr's win on the road, as his side maintained their steady ascent on the league log.
