RIYADH: Cristiano Ronaldo’s world-class goal against Al-Khaleej has been described as “just normal” for him by his delighted Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro.

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo was the inspiration behind Al Nassr’s 2-0 win on Saturday night at Al-Awwal Park in the Roshn Saudi League Matchday 12 fixture.

Fellow Portuguese Castro said: “That’s only normal for Cristiano! He makes that look easy. It’s a fantastic goal. Cristiano is No.
