For his match-winning performances for Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Saudi Pro League’s Player of the Month for February.
After leaving Manchester United by mutual consent in December, the captain of Portugal scored eight goals and set up two more in four games to win his first individual award with Al Nassr.
On February 3, Ronaldo made his third appearance for the club and scored his first league goal with a late penalty kick in a 2-2 league draw against Al Fateh.

Ronaldo’s best performance of the season came four days after turning 38 when he scored all four goals in Al Nassr’s 4-0 win over Al Wehda to surpass 500 league goals.
“Great feeling to have scored four goals and reached my 500th goal in the league in a very solid team win!” After the game, Ronaldo wrote on his Instagram.
After assisting on both goals in Al Nassr’s 2-1 victory over Al-Taawoun on February 17, Ronaldo scored a hat trick in Dalmac’s 3-0 victory.
Ronaldo is only five goals behind Al Nassr teammate Anderson Talisca, who leads the Saudi Pro League with 13 goals despite playing only five of his team’s 18 league games this season.
