A headline update on the future of five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been revealed late on Friday evening.

Ronaldo, for those who missed it, was back in action a short time ago.

A host of star names were on show in the clash, including the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Sadio Mane, Franck Kessie, Roberto Firmino, and Aymeric Laporte.

When all was said and done, though, it was that man Ronaldo, alongside teammate Anderson Talisca, who made the difference.

This came as the pair both netted doubles, en route to an eventual 4-3 Al-Nassr triumph.
