Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his dancing skills after scoring Al Nassr’s opener in their King Cup of Champions clash.
Ronaldo showed great ingenuity by scoring after 17 minutes against Al Khaleej to give Al Nassr the lead in the semi-final.

This came from a defensive confusion when Al Khaleej goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic attempted to play from the back only to end up bulking his lines and clearing Ronaldo.
However, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner still had plenty to do and wasn’t even looking at goal when he hooked the ball over his shoulder with a brilliant, unorthodox left-footed finish.
The ball sailed into an empty net to spark wild celebrations, including from Ronaldo himself who performed a peculiar little dance in front of the home fans at Al Awwal Stadium.
Shaking his hips a little, the former Manchester United star also pumped the air before giving the adoring crowd a fist bump.

Al Nassr then took a penalty, a task Ronaldo usually takes care of.
But in a selfless act, the 39-year-old allowed former Liverpool star Sadio Mané to take the spot-kick instead.
The Senegalese international made no mistake after a spirited run, scoring a second for Al Nassr to give them a 2-0 half-time lead.
Ronaldo then doubled his personal tally after the break with a tap-in.

These two goals take Ronaldo to 38 goals in all competitions this season as he continues his fine form ahead of Euro 2024 this summer.
Portugal, led by former Everton boss Roberto Martinez, are one of the favorites to win glory in Germany.
However, Ronaldo’s inclusion in the national team has been questioned in recent times and he was even left out of the squad during the last international round.
This could well be the veteran striker’s last chance for another glory at an international tournament, having helped Portugal win the European Championship in 2016 and the Nations League in 2019.
