Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning first half hat-trick for Al-Nassr and fans were quick to hail him the “best player ever”.
The former Manchester United star, 38, netted a penalty to open the scoring against Damac in Saturday’s Saudi Pro League clash. He followed it up five minutes later with a clinical strike from the edge of the box, before grabbing his third on the stroke of half time.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo celebrated his strikes in trademark fashion as the packed out stadium roared ‘Siu’. And the Portuguese legend’s many supporters instantly took to Twitter to fawn over his greatness.
One Twitter user wrote: “The best player to ever grace football,” while another tweeted: “The greatest there is. The greatest there was.”
A third wrote: “38 year old Cristiano Ronaldo doing what 30 year olds couldn’t do.” A fourth commented: “The truth with Ronaldo is that if he plays he scores”, while a fifth added: “The Goat of goats.”
Ronaldo went on to score a fourth in the second half which was ruled out for offside.
