Last night was all about goals and galore for Al Nassr! They played against Al Wehda, and the Knights of the Najd kept their winning streak alive. It was Cristiano Ronaldo who stole the spotlight yet again, notching his 66th career hat-trick. Aside from the fans, the wonder man’s beloved girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez added her voice to the chorus of widespread admiration by firing a 3-word message to celebrate Al Nassr’s star’s heroics.

Georgina remained a regular visitor during Al Nassr’s home games, showing her support for her boyfriend in the stands of the Al Awwal Stadium. After the Portuguese superstar successfully notched the feat, she took to Instagram stories and posted a clip of Ronaldo’s third goal being replayed on the big screens of the stadium. Additionally, Rodriguez wrote a caption saying, Hat-trick ❤ de CR,” which means “Hat-trick from CR” as translated. While the legend didn’t directly respond to her appreciation, he had a reaction of his own to follow.

Cristiano Ronaldo, on X, posted a carousel of clicks from the game and wrote, “Feeling great, thanks team and fans!”. Notably, the goal fiesta started for Ronaldo within just 5 minutes. Having broken the deadlock, the 39-year-old added a second in the 12th minute, before Otavio made it third a few minutes later. As the referee was about to blow the whistle to end the first half, Sadio Mane added a fourth for his side. Moments before the hour mark, Ronaldo netted his third goal with defender Mohammed Al-Fatil icing the cake with his finish.

Either way, it’s good to see Ronaldo still taking the match ball home as he left his significant other in awe. Interestingly, just days ago, Georgina also reacted to the brilliant left-foot volley that the Al Nassr skipper scored against Al Khaleej. Meanwhile, the veteran managed to clinch another milestone because of his last night’s heroics.

Cristiano Ronaldo shows no signs of stopping with his goal-scoring heroics

Thanks to a remarkable 66th hattrick of his career, the former Real Madrid man has scored 52 goals in 52 games for Al Nassr this season. Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo is on a surge of 66 G/A. That’s not all as he also remains the top-scorer of the Saudi Pro League with a tally of 32 goals, boasting a difference of 11 goals ahead of Aleksander Mitrovic.

With four games remaining before the season ends, Ronaldo will be looking to further extend his lead in the top scorer list. Even though the chances of winning the Roshn League are slim, Luis Castro’s side would certainly fight till their last breath. If not, they would at least like to finish their season with a King Cup of Champions trophy, as they are bound to play the final against Al Hilal.
