Al-Nassr turned out to be too good for Al Adalah as they completed a 5-0 clean sweep to maintain their stronghold in the Saudi Premier League standings. Al-Nassr’s star player Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace as Anderson Talisca too netted twice to give the club a dominant win. Al Adalah had many chances to score but they could not convert them. In the process, Ronaldo has achieved another big milestone. The Protugese striker now has more goals that combined tally of retired legends Theirry Henry and Brazil’s Ronaldo Nazario. As per Daily Star, Ronaldo Nazario and Henry have scored a total of 832 goals together. Cristiano scored his 833rd and 834th goal on Wednesday to go past the combined tally of two legends.

Cristiano’s supreme fitness levels help him stay on top
Apart from his mad football skills, what has kept Cristiano at the top of his game is his focus on fitness. He leads a disciplined life and never misses his workout sessions.
