Ronaldo‘s contribution has helped Al Nassr strengthen their bid to end Al Hilal’s three-year dominance.

Al Nassr top the Saudi League by two points, with Al Ittihad in second on 41 points.

Defending champions Al Hilal are 11 points off top spot – but they have a whopping three games in hand which could fire them into title contention.

Ronaldo’s goal-scoring form started against Al Fateh on February 3.

The five-time Champions League and Ballon d’Or winner netted a last gasp equaliser in the 2-2 draw.

In his next outing against Al Wehda, Ronaldo scored an astonishing FOUR goals.

Eight days later he turned provider against Al Taawoun in the 2-1 win, assisting both Al Nassr goals.

And then last Saturday, Ronaldo bagged his second Saudi League hat-trick in the 3-0 win over Damac.
