Ronaldo has five goals and two assists in four games for the Saudi Arabian outfit.

But CR7 was close to picking up an injury ahead of Al-Nassr’s clash with Al-Taawoun on Friday.

In the pre-game warm-up, a fan ran on the pitch hoping to meet the five-time Champions League and Ballon d’Or winner.

But as he approached the player and other Al-Nassr stars, he slipped at Ronaldo’s feet.

One of his cutting-edge passes earned rave reviews.

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.
