The 33-year-old has been a key player for Al-Alami, netting 43 times and assisting 31 in 110 games across competitions. That includes six strikes and as many assists in 17 outings this season.

In a fun interaction tweeted by Al Nassr Zone, Ronaldo was asked about the player who spends the most time in front of the mirror.

“For me, Mane,” the 40-year-old replied.

Mane and Ronaldo have been productive on the field when playing together, recording 15 joint goal contributions across 92 games across competitions.

Twelve of those goals have been scored by Ronaldo, including two this season - a 2-0 win at Al-Ittihad and a 5-1 home win over Al-Fateh - both in the Saudi Pro League. Jorge Jesus' side are four points clear at the top, having won all nine games, as they seek their first league title, 11th overall, since 2019.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has 13 goal contributions this campaign, striking 11 times and assisting twice, in 12 outings across competitions. That includes 10 goals and an assist in nine games in the Saudi Pro League, where Jorge Jesus' side are the table-toppers.

Ronaldo's two other goal contributions - one goal and one assist - came in as many matches in the Saudi Super Cup, where Al-Alami lost 5-3 on penalties to Al-Ahli in the final after a 2-2 draw. The result extended the Portuguese's barren streak of competiive silverware with his club side, having only won the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, a friendly tournament.
