On Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the pitch for the first time since his return from injury, and it was a display that would have made any football fan go wild. The Portuguese superstar scored two goals in just over an hour as Al Hilal defeated Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo has been out of action since November due to a hamstring injury, but he showed no signs of rustiness on Saturday. His performance against Al Ahli was nothing short of sensational, with him scoring both goals in a dominant display that saw Al Hilal take control of the game.
The first goal came in the 25th minute, with Ronaldo showing his class by beating three defenders before slotting home from close range. He then added a second in the 78th minute, again showing his pace and skill as he cut inside and fired past the goalkeeper.
Ronaldo's contribution was not limited to just his goals though - he also provided some key passes and created chances for his teammates. It was clear to see why he is still one of the best players in the world at such a high level.
Al Hilal manager Javier Aguirre said after the match that Ronaldo had "been very important" for the team, and it's easy to see why. His return to form will be a huge boost for the club, who were struggling to keep up with their opponents in recent weeks.
Overall, Ronaldo's display was a reminder of why he is one of the greatest footballers of all time. His speed, skill and determination were on full display as he helped Al Hilal secure a much-needed victory against a tough opponent. It's clear that Ronaldo's return to form is just the start of what could be a fantastic season for the club.
