As Al-Nassr breezed past Al-Wehda with a 6-0 win, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fourth Saudi Pro League hat-trick of the season.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's hat-trick along with goals from Sadio Mane, Otavio and Mohammed Al-Fatil sent Al-Nassr on their way as Al-Wehda couldn't find a response to the dominance of Luis Castro's side. Ronaldo sent a message out after the match as the Portuguese star thanked his teammates and fans.
WHAT RONALDO SAID
The former Real Madrid star posted on Instagram with the caption" "Feeling great, thanks team and fans!"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite the massive win, Al-Nassr remain stuck in limbo as they sit comfortably in second place in the Saudi Pro League, quite some distance behind unbeaten Al-Hilal but 19-points ahead of third-placed Al-Ahli.
WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?
The Saudi Pro League top scorer will look to continue his great form in the last four games of the season against Al-Akhdood, the soon-to-be champions Al-Hilal, Al-Riyadh and Karim Benzema's Al-Ittihad.
