Cristiano Ronaldo shines with hat-trick as Al-Nassr thrash Abha 8-0 in Saudi Pro League
In a stunning display of skill and dominance, Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved why he is considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. The Portuguese forward led Al-Nassr to an emphatic 8-0 victory over Abha in the Saudi Pro League, scoring a remarkable hat-trick and providing two assists in a dazzling performance.
Ronaldo’s exceptional form saw him net his third hat-trick of the league season, taking his goal tally to an impressive 29 goals and solidifying his position as the league’s top scorer. His precision and creativity were on full display as he scored two goals from free-kicks and set up a goal for his teammate Sadio Mané.
The highlight of the match came just before halftime when Ronaldo completed his hat-trick with a sensational chip from outside the area, leaving fans and opponents alike in awe of his talent. Despite being substituted at halftime, Al-Nassr continued their onslaught with Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa adding to the scoreline.
While the victory was a statement of intent from Al-Nassr, they still find themselves in second place in the league standings, trailing leaders Al-Hilal by 12 points with eight games remaining in the season. The news of Al-Hilal’s Aleksandar Mitrovic likely missing the rest of the season due to injury further adds to the drama of the title race.
Ronaldo’s exceptional performance has once again showcased his unrivaled skill and determination, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what more he has in store for the remainder of the season.
