After breaking the single-season scoring record in the Saudi Arabian National Championship, Cristiano Ronaldo had to face a doping test.

There are rumors that Cristiano Ronaldo may be rested for the match against Al Ittihad. However, in the end, coach Luis Castro still decided to put the former MU star in the starting lineup. And Ronaldo did not disappoint, scoring twice , contributing to Al Nassr’s important victory.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a memorable night with impressive personal achievements. The goal in the 48th minute helped him equal Abderrazak Hamdallah’s record for most goals scored in an SPL season (34 goals).

Then, the Portuguese football star also broke this record with his second goal in the 69th minute, bringing his total number of goals to 35 goals in the national championship and 44 goals in all competitions this season. In addition, his contributions also helped Al Nassr reach the 100-goal milestone for the first time in the club’s history.

However, with such impressive performance at the age of 39, immediately after the match, Ronaldo seemed to have to participate in a doping test. This is a regular procedure after football matches, however, it is unclear whether any other Al Nassr players were selected for testing besides Ronaldo. Previously, there was information that 8 Al Nassr stars, including Ronaldo, were summoned for doping testing before the King Cup.

Ronaldo and his teammates also did not have much time to celebrate their victory against Al Ittihad. Their next match will be against coach Jorge Jesus’ extremely difficult opponent Al Hilal in the King Cup. This tournament is also the last chance for Al Nassr to win a title this season.

Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team did not have a good record when facing Jorge Jesus’ team. In 4 previous meetings, including a friendly match, Al Hilal won 3 matches and drew 1 match. What is more worrying is that CR7 has not scored any goals in these matches.
