After an illustrious career in Europe where he won just about every trophy possible across his stints as a Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United and Real Madrid player, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has taken his talents to the Middle East.
He joined Al Nassr on January 1, 2023 and it's been widely reported that Ronaldo is now the highest paid football player in the history of the game, though given how hungry he still is to acquire more titles, his success will still be measured on the pitch with his new side.
With a host of new competitions to appear in from the Saudi Pro League to the AFC Champions League in the future (if his side qualifies next season), we keep you up to date with how Ronaldo is getting on in Riyadh.

Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr goals 2022/23

He has 14 goals in 18 official matches for Al Nassr across all competitions.
His first strike came from the penalty spot against Al Fateh (February 3). He followed that up by exploding for four goals against Al Wehda on February 9, and then bagging a hat-trick against Damac on February 25.

Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr assists 2022/23
Perhaps best known for his elite finishing skills, Ronaldo is less of a playmaker compared to his long-time rival Lionel Messi.
As a result, Ronaldo's career to date has been dominated by his various, stunning finishes as opposed to his silky assists.
To highlight that point, during his entire second stint with Manchester United, he managed to pick up just five assists across 54 competitive matches.
That said, the Portugal international will be hoping to change that during his time with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
