Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, on Saturday, added to his burgeoning silverware cabinet once more, after seeing his early efforts with new club Al-Nassr aptly recognised.
CR7, of course, opted to take his talents to Asia late last year.
After coming to an agreement on the termination of his contract with Manchester United, the Portuguese international left his legendary European career in the rear view, to put pen to paper on a lucrative deal with Saudi giants Al-Nassr.
And, after something of an inauspicious start, Ronaldo has since gone on to take the Saudi Pro League by storm.
All told, across six league appearances to date, the veteran frontman has racked up a hefty eight goals.
This includes all of his new side’s goals, en route to a 4-0 drubbing of Al-Wehda early last month.
