Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 899th career goal with a stunning free-kick for Al-Nassr – as the legendary striker moved one place ahead of David Beckham in the all-time free-kick rankings😍😍

In Al-Nassr’s win over Al Feiha on Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 899th goal.

At the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, Talisca gave the guests the lead. Now, Ronaldo has a chance to make it two goals after a foul on the edge of the box.

The 39-year-old chose placement over power, and his shot went over the wall and into the top corner to the left of the goalie.

Ronaldo scored his 64th goal from a free kick, putting him only one goal behind David Beckham, who leads the Premier League in goals scored from set pieces.

Ronaldo was made fun of on social media less than two weeks ago when he sent a set piece over the bar in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final.

Just before he took the strike, he told himself in Portuguese, “I’m the best.”

His next shot, however, was not very good; it went high over the custodian and didn’t even register an official response.

With his free-kick record, the Portuguese forward is up there with some of the best players of all time. However, he still needs to set the all-time mark before he retires.

Juninho Pernambucano is the most productive player in football history from a dead-ball situation. He is best known for the eight years he spent at Lyon.

The player used to play for Brazil and scored 198 goals in his career, with an amazing 77 coming from free kicks.

Lionel Messi, a long-time rival of Ronaldo, has scored 65 free-kick goals, making him the best current player in the world.

Marcelo Brozovic scored Al-Nassr’s third goal, and Talisca scored his second goal of the game in extra time to make it a rout.

This season, Ronaldo has scored in both of Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League games.

When asked about his plans for the future, he said he could stay at the club for the rest of his career: “I don’t know if I’ll retire soon—in two or three years—but I think I will. Most likely, I will. Here at Al Nassr.”

“I’m happy in this country and at this club.” He also said, “I’m happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to keep getting better.”
