Cristiano Ronaldo is scoring goals for fun after his signing for Al Nassr

Many soccer fans debated that the move to Al Nassr would mean the end of his soccer career. But it looks like the star has debunked the debate immediately after his arrival. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 28 goals and provided 10 assists in his 34 appearances. He also has had a positive influence on the Saudi players at the club as a captain. The Al Nassr star has increased the viewership of the Saudi League in the stadium as well as globally.

In this season, Cristiano Ronaldo is also in solid form for the Portuguese national team. Under the new manager Roberto Martinez, Ronaldo is back scoring goals for the national team after a disappointing World Cup. The Al Nassr star has scored 7 goals in 9 games in the UEFA Euro qualifiers to help his national team qualify for the main Euros tournament next year.
