Cristiano Ronaldo ‘rolls back the years’ in Saudi Arabia with a 40-yard free-kick
Cristiano Ronaldo ‘rolls back the years’ in Saudi Arabia with a 40-yard free-kick
Cristiano Ronaldo “rolled back the years” by rifling in a long-ranged free-kick for Al-Nassr on Saturday.
The 38-year-old’s side were 1-0 down to Abha in the Saudi Pro League when he stepped up to take a free-kick from 40-yards out, standing over the ball in his trademark stance.
Many would not have expected much from such a range given Ronaldo’s lack of joy in recent times from set-pieces. But the forward channelled his first spell at Manchester United by netting a wonder-goal to equalise.

Ronaldo used his famous knuckleball technique to fire the ball past the wall and into the bottom-left hand corner. The goalkeeper was unable to reach the spectacular effort, leaving the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to celebrate emphatically.
It was reminiscent of the Portuguese star’s many free-kicks from earlier in his career, including the famous ones for United against Arsenal and Portsmouth. And fans unsurprisingly couldn’t hold back their joy as they gushed over the forward on social media.
Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo is still good enough to play Champions League football? Let us know in the comments section.
One Twitter user wrote: “Cristiano Ronaldo from 35+ yards out, rolling back the years, what a free-kick.”
Another fan tweeted: “It’s like watching an old Ronaldo freekick comp. my goat still got it.”
A third commented: “HOLY S*** WHAT A FREE KICKKKKKKKKKKKK OHMYYYYYYYDAYYYYYYYSSS.”
And a fourth added: “The greatest there is. The greatest there was. The greatest there ever will be.”
The goal marked Ronaldo’s ninth goal for Al-Nassr in just eight matches. It comes despite his visible frustrations earlier in the week during the King Cup of Champions quarter-final clash with Abha, where he threw a tantrum on the stroke of half-time by hoofing the ball away and kicking a water bottle.
