Cristiano Ronaldo is basking in glory after achieving yet another milestone in his illustrious career following Al-Nassr's resounding victory over Al Tai at the Al-Awwal Park on Saturday.

The Portuguese maestro showcased his scoring prowess by notching a sensational hat-trick in the second half, adding to the earlier strikes from his compatriot Otavio and Saudi Arabian international Abdulrahman Ghareeb as the Knights of Najd dominated proceedings against their lower-ranked opponents.
