Watch Cristiano Ronaldo confuse the goalkeeper before allowing the former Manchester United star to take the free kick

Cristiano Ronaldo fooled the opposing goalkeeper by pretending to take a free kick, before former Manchester United player Alex Telles stepped up and fired the ball into the goal.

Ronaldo, 38, stood as if he was about to hit his trademark knuckle free-kick.

Al-Wehda goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi began to move to the left, apparently preparing for the Portugal legend to step forward.

But Telles, who left United for Saudi Arabia this summer, gave Al Nasr the lead in the 11th minute when he curled a free-kick into the other side of the wall.

But that’s not too surprising, given Ronaldo’s poor free-kick record over the past decade.

He has scored just 5 goals since the start of the 2019/20 season and 10 goals since the 2014/15 season.

But his overall record for Al Nasr so far this season is even more impressive.

Ronaldo scored 16 goals and provided 9 assists in 17 games.

Al Nasr are not at the top of the Saudi Professional League table as they remain four points behind Al Hilal.

But they did put the pressure on the league leaders with a 3-1 win on Saturday.

After Telles took a free kick, defender Abdullah Ali Awad Amri shot.

Ronaldo secured the points four minutes into the second half before Anselmo pulled a consolation goal back for the home side.

Ronaldo and Telles spent 18 months together as teammates at Old Trafford before the Real Madrid icon departed at the end of 2022.
