Ronaldo Stuns with Jaw-Dropping Bicycle Kick in Saudi League
You might think at 40, Cristiano Ronaldo would start slowing down, but on Sunday night, he proved once again that age is just a number. In Al Nassr’s clash against Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo delivered an absolutely sensational bicycle kick that left fans and commentators alike in awe. The match was already heading to a comfortable 4-1 finish for Al Nassr, but Ronaldo saved perhaps the most memorable moment for the dying seconds of stoppage time.
It all began when Nawaf Boushal sent in a precise cross from the right wing. Ronaldo, timing his leap perfectly, launched himself into the air and executed a breathtaking overhead kick. The shot caught Al Khaleej’s goalkeeper, Anthony Moris, completely off guard. Moris managed only a slight touch, which unfortunately deflected the ball into his own net. The stadium erupted. Ronaldo, in his trademark style, sprinted to the left corner flag and celebrated with his iconic ‘Siu’ – a gesture fans have come to associate with his moments of brilliance.
Commentators on the Arabic broadcast couldn’t contain their admiration, with one exclaiming, “There are legends that are always repeated, and legends born only once in a lifetime.” And truly, watching Ronaldo in full flight, even now, feels like witnessing something timeless. The goal also sparked excitement on social media, with Ronaldo himself sharing the replay on Instagram and inviting fans to get creative with captions.

For those who remember, this wasn’t Ronaldo’s first spectacular bicycle kick. Memories instantly flashed back to his stunning 2018 Champions League goal against Juventus while he was at Real Madrid. The execution was just as precise, just as audacious, and just as unforgettable.
The game itself had been a showcase of Al Nassr’s dominance. João Félix and Wesley put the hosts ahead 2-0 by halftime. Although Al Khaleej pulled one back through a spectacular strike from Murad Al Hawsawi after the break, Al Nassr quickly regained control. Sadio Mane’s curling shot in the 77th minute extended the lead, and then Ronaldo’s magical finish put the final stamp on the victory.
Off the pitch, Ronaldo continues to be a star beyond football. Even former U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned him during a gala dinner, highlighting how his presence impressed guests, including his son.
With this win, Al Nassr maintained their perfect start to the Saudi Pro League, winning all nine of their matches so far. Ronaldo’s performance wasn’t just a reminder of his enduring talent; it also reinforced that as he prepares for his final World Cup with Portugal next year, the football world is still lucky to witness his genius.
Cristiano Ronaldo, at 40, has shown yet again that he can still make the impossible look effortless – and that a truly legendary bicycle kick never loses its magic.
