Cristiano Ronaldo drew attention with a screamer in his Al-Nassr’s win this Saturday (18) in the Saudi Pro League.
And Lionel Messi, who took the field later, wasn’t far behind.

He then scored two more—one from the penalty spot and another with a first-time finish—securing a hat-trick, his first of the current campaign.
He’s up to 29 goals in 28 matches. He’s increasingly the competition’s outright top scorer.
He’s scored two or more goals in ten matches in this MLS season. A new record.
And he reached 889 in his career over 1,130 matches played.
The Florida franchise—who had surrendered a comeback in the first half—also scored through Baltasar Rodriguez and Segovia to complete a second comeback and win 5–2 away from home.
They reached 65 points, confirming the third-best campaign in the Eastern Conference. Nashville, meanwhile, finished with 54, in sixth.
