Cristiano Ronaldo made his competitive debut as the captain for new club Al Nassr in their 1-0 win over Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League on Sunday.

The 37-year-old Portugal forward joined the club last month on a £177m per year deal that runs until 2025.

He played the entire game as the striker with former Benfica and Besiktas attacking midfielder Talisca heading home the winner in the 31st minute.

Al Nassr are presently top of the Saudi Pro League, a point above second-placed Al Hilal.

Ronaldo – who has played for Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid – was greeted by banners and cheers from his adoring fans at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh.

It comes after he scored twice in Riyadh All-Star XI’s 5-4 defeat to Paris St-Germain in an exhibition match on Thursday.
