Luis Castro, the manager of Al-Nassr, showered Cristiano Ronaldo with accolades, attributing him to being the driving force behind his team's nearly insurmountable prowess.

Under Castro's helm, the Knights of Najd extended their unbeaten streak to an impressive 19 games across all competitions, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory against Al Akhdoud on Friday, November 24.

The game initially seemed destined for a lone goal by Sami Al Najei, granting the home side a deserved lead within 13 minutes.

However, the 38-year-old wasn't done there. Mere moments later, he delivered what could be hailed as one of the season's most extraordinary goals, per Beinsports.

As Al Akhdoud's goalkeeper, Paulo Vitor, attempted a clearance, the ball fortuitously landed at Ronaldo's feet. From roughly 40 yards away, he dared an audacious lob that appeared destined to soar over the crossbar, only to dip in at the last moment.

Ronaldo's breathtaking brace sealed Al-Nassr's victory, dismantling their opponents, who had valiantly weathered the storm but succumbed to the Portuguese phenom's two sensational strikes.

Post-match, the 61-year-old manager couldn't contain his admiration for Ronaldo, dubbing him the "best player" in the world, a testament to the awe-inspiring display witnessed on the field.

“We have Cristiano, who is the best player in the world. Everything becomes easy for you when the Number one plays with you,” he said as quoted by CristianoXtra.
