Cristiano Ronaldo turned back the clock with a stunning overhead kick as Al Nassr claimed a strong win over Al Khaleej. The goal reminded fans of his famous bicycle kick against Juventus in 2017, proving once again that even at 40, he remains one of the greatest players ever.

Al Nassr looked in control right from the start. Joao Felix was the star of the first half, scoring once and assisting another to set the rhythm of the game.
