The Portuguese superstar, who went the entire month of January without scoring or providing an assist, ultimately settled in at his new team, recording two assists in addition to his eight goals. 

Ronaldo's efforts have helped Al-Nassr maintain their top spot, and his performances have earned him the individual monthly award previously given to Salem Al-Dawsari of Al-Hilal.

Throughout February, Ronaldo was in soaring form. The 38-year-old scored his first goal for Al-Nassr against Al Fateh on February 3 and celebrated scoring the 500th goal of his career in his team's 4-0 victory at Al Wehda six days later, scoring all four goals.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner will next be in action for Al-Nassr when they host Al-Batin in the league on Friday.
