Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make an impact. On Wednesday, May 29, the Al Nassr forward played a decisive role in his team’s 2-0 victory over Al Khaleej on Matchday 33 of the Saudi Pro League—a match that could mark one of his last appearances in the Middle East.

Durán Opens the Score, Ronaldo Seals It Late

Despite dominating most of the match, Al Nassr struggled to break through until the 75th minute, when Jhon Durán headed home a cross from Sadio Mané to make it 1-0.

Then, deep into added time, Cristiano Ronaldo did what he does best. With his usual composure, he converted a penalty in the 97th minute, securing the win and netting his 23rd goal of the season. The strike keeps him at the top of the Saudi league’s golden boot race, ahead of Abderrazak Hamdallah and Karim Benzema, who both sit on 21 goals.

A Possible Goodbye?

While Ronaldo remains vital to Al Nassr, his future is uncertain. His contract runs until June 30, 2025, but there has been no official word on an extension.

Reports suggest that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is evaluating his next move, particularly if Al Nassr fails to secure qualification for the next AFC Champions League. The club currently sits fourth with 67 points, just one behind third-place Al Qadsiah, with one match left in the season.
