Luis Castro’s men came from behind at the break to equalise soon after the re-start through ex-Benfica man Talisca, before Ronaldo took centre stage to dispatch a wonderful winning goal and maintain Al Nassr’s title challenge.

Speaking after the match in Riyadh, Ronaldo admitted it was important to return from the international break – during which he notched four goals for Portugal – with a strong team performance. The Seleção captain also addressed a question over his future, stating he has no plans to retire any time soon.

“We needed to come back as a harmonious team and that’s what happened. We conceded a goal in the first half, but we came back strong in the second half.

“My future? I have always said hard work has led me to be constantly at the top. Now I’m 38 years old, but I’m sure I’ll keep playing both this season and next season. Then if my body tells me I can continue, then I will.”
