40-Year-Old Cristiano Ronaldo Defies Age with Iconic Overhead Bicycle Kick Goal for Al-Nassr
The Portugal superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, has proved to the world that you’re only as old as you feel by scoring an amazing bicycle kick goal for Al-Nassr. On Sunday, the 40-year-old beautifully connected a right-wing cross assisted by Nawaf Boushal into an acrobatic goal over the goalkeeper’s head, which led to Al Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Al Khaleej.
The Magic Moment
Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years with an incredible acrobatic effort. This vintage strike took place deep into stoppage time, specifically in the 96th minute. Al-Nassr was already leading Al-Khaleej 3-1 in the Saudi Pro League match. During this ending moment of the match, the Portuguese footballer jumped to meet a cross from the right wing and launched a stunning overhead kick. The exquisite volley flew past the Al Khaleej goalkeeper, Anthony Morris.
This spectacular finish sealed Al-Nassr's 4-1 victory in truly iconic fashion. The goal immediately went viral, reminding everyone of his memorable 2018 stunner against Juventus. Ronaldo's goal is an early contender for the 2026 FIFA Puskás Award. It has also re-cemented his status as the man of the moment.

Al-Nassr's Perfect League Run Continues
Al-Nassr maintained their perfect start to the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season as their victory over Al-Khaleej marked their ninth consecutive win of the campaign. The team's dominance has been clear under manager Jorge Jesus. João Félix opened the scoring for Al-Nassr before Wesley doubled the lead quickly.
Al Khaleej pulled one goal back through Murad Al-Hawsawi in the second half. Sadio Mané restored the two-goal advantage in the 77th minute. Ronaldo's late goal reinforced its position at the top of the table.
