Cristiano Ronaldo responds to Lionel Messi from Saudi Arabia with an iconic header for Al Nassr in the Arab Champions Cup.
On Thursday, August 3, Cristiano Ronaldo emerged as the hero as Al-Nassr narrowly escaped losing in the group stage of the Arab Club Champions Cup.
Ronaldo's Al Nassr traveled to the King Fahd International Stadium to take on Egyptian powerhouse Zamalek, fresh off a morale-boosting 4-1 thrashing of Monastir.
Al-Nassr went into the game knowing that to stay in the Arab Champions Cup after the group stage they need at least a point.
Ronaldo the hero for Al Nassr
Ahmed Sayed's penalty-kick goal early in the second half gave Zamalek the lead and the game's first goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored for the second game in a row after escaping his defender at the far post in the 87 minutes to guide a signature header beyond the helpless Mohamed Sobhy.
The Moroccan team Raja CA awaits Al-Nassr in the quarterfinals of the Arab Champions Cup after they have secured their place in the knockout rounds.
After the game, Ronaldo took to his official social media platforms to post pictures of his header and a message that said, "Qualified!💪🏼⚽️ Well done team!"
The Portuguese football icon rose to the top of the trends once again on social media as the debate with Lionel Messi was revisited, even though the Argentina maestro now plays for Inter Miami n the United States of America.
