Ronaldo and Co travelled to face Al-Shabab looking to keep their title hopes alive.

The Portuguese forward was the subject of Lionel Messi chants from opposition fans earlier this season.

And when Al-Shabab supporters sang the Argentine’s name, Ronaldo looked to get the last laugh.

He opened the scoring in the 21st minute from the penalty spot, running to the corner flag and performing his trademark celebration.

Later in the topsy-turvy contest, Ronaldo couldn’t help but make some gestures towards the crowd.

The animated ace could be seen frantically waving his arms towards home supporters.

And at one point he even cupped his ear in triumph.

Former Atletico Madrid star Yannick Carrasco equalised for Al-Shabab from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time.

Talisca then restored Al-Nassr’s advantage just seconds into the second-half.

Brazilian ace Carlos levelled once again for the home side on 66 minutes.

But Talisca struck again four minutes from time to seal victory for Ronaldo and Co.

Al-Nassr’s win moved them onto 52 points from 21 games in the Saudi Pro League.

They are in second place, four points behind Ruben Neves’ Al-Hilal, who also possess a game in hand.

Ronaldo is top scorer in the Saudi Pro League this season, having bagged 22 goals in 20 appearances.

He is three ahead of former Fulham ace Aleksandar Mitrovic, and seven clear of ex-Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.
