Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines once again by scoring three goals in a single match for his team, Al-Nassr, in the Saudi Pro League (SPL). This impressive feat, known as a hattrick, helped his team secure a dominant 8-0 win over Abha. Ronaldo, who has previously played for famous clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid, showcased his exceptional skills on the field, proving why many consider him the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) in soccer.
According to reports from The Sun, Ronaldo’s stellar performance included two goals from free kicks and one solo goal. Despite being substituted at halftime, Ronaldo left a lasting impact on the game and his fans. He even took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to share photos from the match and express his determination to keep pushing forward.
With a total of 29 goals in the SPL, Ronaldo currently holds the top spot on the league’s list of top scorers. His closest competitor is Aleksandar Mitrovic from Al-Hilal, who has scored 22 goals so far.
This hattrick marked Ronaldo’s 65th career hattrick, an impressive achievement by any standard. What’s even more remarkable is that this milestone came just four days after his 64th hattrick in another match against Al-Tai.
Throughout the game, Ronaldo demonstrated his exceptional talent, scoring goals with finesse and precision. From a low-free kick opener to two brilliant free kick goals, Ronaldo’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. He sealed his hattrick with a remarkable chip from a distance of 25 yards.
Even British broadcaster Piers Morgan couldn’t help but praise Ronaldo’s outstanding performance, referring to him as the GOAT and lauding his exceptional free kicks.
