Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to the field for Al Nassr with a sublime goal in their pre-season friendly match against Toulouse on Wednesday (July 30).

The Al Nassr captain was on target to level the match for the Saudi club in Austria, where they are playing their first match in this pre-season. The two teams are locking horns as the preparatory phase begins ahead of next season.

Toulouse took the lead in the 25th minute through Yann Gboho, but Ronaldo equalized in the 33rd minute. The Al Nassr captain slotted past emphatically from a Wesley pass to restore parity in the tie.

Ronaldo was again the Saudi Pro League's top scorer, netting 25 league goals in 30 appearances and adding 8 goals in the AFC Champions League, plus 2 more in the Saudi Super Cup, totaling 35 goals across all competitions. In continental action, he delivered 8 Champions League goals from 26 total across the season. With 4 assists, he reached a goal contribution rate of about one every 91 minutes.

As captain, his leadership was pivotal both on and off the pitch, mentoring younger teammates and helping elevate Al Nassr's attacking efficiency. While the team finished third in the league and again missed out on the SPL title, Ronaldo's consistency underlined his enduring elite status. The Portugal international has scored 936 career goals in 1,270 matches, and is one of the best players in history.
