Cristiano Ronaldo praises Al Nassr heart after last-gasp fight-back reclaims league summit

Cristiano Ronaldo reminded Al Nassr of the virtues of “always believing until the end” after his side secured a dramatic victory deep into injury-time on Friday night to move back top of the Saudi Pro League.

The Riyadh club were 1-0 down against bottom side Al Batin at Mrsool Park, but struck three times in the additional period to turn around the match and jump back to the standings summit, two points clear of second-placed Al Ittihad.

Ronaldo, who received his Player of the Month award for February from the league before kick-off, did not get on the scoresheet, with Nassr turning around the game thanks to Abdulrahman Ghareeb’s 93rd-minute equaliser and further goals from Mohammed Al Fatil and Mohammed Maran. Those arrived in the 102nd and 105th minute, respectively.

Always believe until the end!Vamos!!
