Yet at 40 years old, the Portuguese legend&nbsp;<strong>continues to defy time<\/strong>, scoring with the same&nbsp;<strong>hunger&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>athleticism&nbsp;<\/strong>that have defined his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday, with the result already beyond doubt, the striker produced&nbsp;<strong>one of the most spectacular goals<\/strong>&nbsp;of his career. Deep into added time,&nbsp;<strong>Boushal&nbsp;<\/strong>burst down the right and whipped in a cross.&nbsp;<strong>Ronaldo&nbsp;<\/strong>stole<strong>&nbsp;a step on his marker<\/strong>, launched himself into the air and connected with<strong>&nbsp;a flawless overhead kick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opposing goalkeeper threw himself&nbsp;<strong>desperately towards the ball<\/strong>&nbsp;but had&nbsp;<strong>no chance<\/strong>. It was a moment of&nbsp;<strong>pure<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>elegant brilliance<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 one that instantly evoked memories of his iconic strike against Juventus for&nbsp;<strong>Real Madrid<\/strong>&nbsp;in the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ronaldo&nbsp;<\/strong>now has&nbsp;<strong>11 goals in 12 matches<\/strong>&nbsp;this season. And the golden question: how many has he scored in his entire career? After this masterpiece, his tally in official matches stands<strong>&nbsp;at 955<\/strong>. Simply extraordinary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al-Nassr eased to a commanding 4-1 win over Al-Khaleej  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1844"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1846,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1844\/revisions\/1846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
