At an age when most professionals consider winding down their careers, Cristiano Ronaldo has once again reminded the football world that he is far from done. The 40-year-old Portuguese striker produced a stunning overhead kick in stoppage time, sealing a commanding 4-1 win for his club Al‑Nassr against Al‑Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo met a right-wing cross with perfect timing and athleticism, sending a fierce volley into the net, a moment that echoed his iconic 2018 bicycle-kick strike while at Real Madrid. With this goal, he capped off Al-Nassr’s flawless start to the season, extending their win-streak to nine in nine.
This goal isn’t just another tally for Ronaldo. It’s a statement: even at 40, he still possesses the athleticism, timing, technique and hunger to deliver league-defining moments. In a sport obsessed with youth and speed, Ronaldo defies the norms. His late-game bicycle kick underlines that age is perhaps becoming just a number.
