It was his second goal for his new club following his move from Manchester United, and he added three more before the end of the game as his team won 4-0.

Ronaldo’s goal was followed by a very familiar celebration from the Portuguese superstar.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ronaldo’s 503 league goals have come across five clubs. The forward scored 311 for Real Madrid, 103 in two spells with Manchester United, 81 for Juventus, three for Sporting and now five with Al-Nassr.
