Ronaldo's free-kick struggles have been well-documented, with each missed attempt becoming fodder for his detractors. However, the Portuguese superstar decided to take a different approach during the match against Al Feiha, and it paid off handsomely. In the dying moments of the first half, Ronaldo and his teammate Alex Telles lined up over a free kick just outside the opposition's penalty area. What followed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-talisca-free-kick-al-nassr-saudi-pro-league-al-feiha/blt7a9f6b19196aebdf#cs37d174b0794f00e4" target="_blank">was a moment of brilliance</a> that left the Al Feiha defence and goalkeeper Abdulraouf Al-Duqayl stunned.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Instead of his usual routine of taking several steps back before powering the ball with his right foot, Ronaldo opted for a more measured approach. He calmly approached the ball and, rather than unleashing a powerful shot, he delicately clipped it over the defensive wall. The ball sailed past the helpless goalkeeper and into the back of the net, marking Ronaldo's 64th career free-kick goal.

This was Ronaldo's 53rd free-kick goal in club football, just one shy of Messi's tally. Both players have also scored 11 free-kick goals for their respective national teams, further highlighting the intense rivalry between the two footballing legends.

DID YOU KNOW?

Following his match-winning performance for Al-Nassr, Ronaldo is set to join the Portugal national team in Lisbon ahead of the upcoming international break. Portugal will face Croatia and Scotland in the UEFA Nations League, with Ronaldo expected to play a key role in both matches.
