‘Best playmaker in the world when he wants to be’
FANS have lavished praise onto Cristiano Ronaldo for a sensational assist he got in Al-Nassr's latest fixture.
Ronaldo, 38, celebrated scoring his 61st career hat-trick with a sensational four goals last week.
However, Ronaldo proved he can still spray some incredible passes with his latest assist against Al-Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League.
With the ball in the Al-Nassr defensive half, the ball fell to Ronaldo who had spotted winger Abdulrahman Ghareeb making a run down the left flank.
Ronaldo then launched a first-time pass towards the Saudi Arabia international.
Ghareeb then skipped pass a backpedalling defender before converging down on goal and whipping the ball into the corner past goalkeeper Mailson.
And fans were quick to recognise the former Manchester United ace's contribution to the opener.
One said: "The best playmaker of all time when he wants to be."
A second wrote: "Insane ball actually."
A third remarked: "That pass was sublime π₯π₯."

"What a beautiful pass," said a fourth.
Another commented: "A beauty ππΎππΎππΎ."
Ronaldo later added his second assist in the game to help secure a 2-1 win, though this came in a far more unconventional style.
The Portugal ace found a pocket of space by the goal as the ball was shot towards it.
He then stuck a leg out to shoot but saw the ball ricochet back off his foot into the path of team-mate Abdullah Madu, who blasted the ball into the roof of the net.
