Ronaldo's performances at Al Nassr are impressive and puzzling. Thats incredible for a 38-year-old to score 20 goals and assist 9 in 18 games. Its more than his Saudi league experience, I think. Ronaldo's top league stints show he adapts quickly. Although significant, his age feels like a number to him.

His competition level worries me, though. Is his skill or the league's quality helping him score? He's indeed a fantastic player, but context matters. Experience, team support, and league competition may explain his goal-scoring streak. I admire Ronaldo, but I think its necessary to have a balanced assessment of his career so far.

Since his professional career, Cristiano Ronaldo have played on five league from Portugal, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A then Saudi Pro League he has adapt well with all clubs plays and success winning domestic league with three clubs. Most important key from Cristiano Ronaldo is he can adapt well with culture, weather and atmosphere with all club have been joined since his professional career and consistency scoring many goals for every clubs joining.
Left one challenge with Cristiano Ronaldo will win domestic league tittle with Al Nassr for this season? its become second year for him but first season start well although he failed make Al Nassr winning domestic league tittle.

But this doesn't make him a super hero. He is a super hero because he was the best of the best in important leagues, but is he still a super hero when he scores goals in Saudi Arabia? I still acknowledge how good he is, but it is different when he scores in a top league or in a weak league. It is not the same.

As European clubs are packed with star players, scoring goals is the most difficult thing to do. But the clubs of Saudi Arabia are never compared with the European teams. Because if the Saudi players are left among the European players to score a goal then it will never be possible to score a goal. But Cristiano Ronaldo, as a European player, should be looked at differently as he is showing signs of age now but his running speed is still right. Cristiano Ronaldo has been insulted in many ways by European players which is why I think the Saudi League is a great honor for him.

I guess he still has a number of goals in his career that he is pursuing. He has to keep scoring if he wants to be nominated for the upcoming tournaments. The European Championship is guaranteed for him if he doesn't get any bad injury. But I would not be surprised if Ronaldo has the World Cup in the back of his head. He has these little goals like becoming the oldest top striker etc. Portugal has a respectable team and I believe he can still help the team. He is still good enough as you said and although his speed isn't quite the same, he is still dangerous enough and fast enough to score plenty of goals. He would probably feel a special push if he was up against some European top teams again (or Argentina at the World Cup).
