<p>Ronaldo’s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/karim-benzema-reacts-saudi-pro-league-golden-boot-battle-cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-team-mates-form-al-ittihad-al-nassr/blt24a5ffda136c3e08" target="_blank">former Real Madrid colleague Karim Benzema</a> sparked a remarkable comeback, though, with Houssem Aouar grabbing a 94th-minute winner for Al-Ittihad.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ex-Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante restored parity just seven minutes into the second half, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-red-faced-after-ballooning-wild-shot-miles-wide-al-nassr-al-ittihad/blta977d3448da5203b" target="_blank">much to the disgust of Ronaldo</a> - who trudged solemnly back to the halfway line for kick-off before turning to the rest of his team.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>CR7 threw his hands up in the air, before suggesting that those around him had fallen asleep. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is destined to finish another campaign in Saudi Arabia without winning another trophy.</p>

<p>Ronaldo is, with 33 efforts to his name this season, just three goals away from reaching 100 for Al-Nassr. He could hit that mark before the end of 2024-25, with the expectation being that he will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-agrees-extend-al-nassr-contract-neymar-al-hilal-highest-paid-player-football-history/blt6f4903f86d02e6b5" target="_blank">agree an extension to his record-breaking contract</a> in the Middle East.</p>
