  WHAT HAPPENED?

  First, Ronaldo collected the ball on the edge of the area in Nassr's AFC Champions League clash with Al-Duhail. Instead of controlling it, however, he flicked a backheel towards Anderson Talisca, who welcomed it in and rifled a shot into the bottom corner.

  Then in the second half, the man widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers to ever lace up a pair of boots scored a superb long-range effort, blasting home from 20 yards to give Nassr a 3-0 lead. Sadio Mane scored Nassr's second.

  Duhail mounted a comeback, bringing the score back to 3-2, but Ronaldo scored again, leathering home a volley on the run after a superb chipped through ball.

  Ronaldo has been in superb form for Nassr this season and rolled back the years just three days ago, as he scored a brilliant free-kick in a 2-1 win over Damac. He has scored 14 goals this season in all competitions, across 13 games.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Nassr have never won the AFC Champions League, with their best-ever finish coming in 1995 when they were beaten finalists. With Ronaldo in the team, they will hope to make history in 2023-24.
