Saturday was quite the day for Cristiano Ronaldo as he earned the 35th trophy of his monumental career but was stretchered off before the end of the Arab Club Champions Cup final against Al-Hilal.

Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr side had gone behind early in the second-half but three minutes after they’d had a man sent off, the Portuguese levelled the scores.

With no further goals in normal time, 30 minutes extra time was played, and who else but Ronaldo would end up scoring the winner.

Unfortunately, before the final whistle, Ronaldo had to be stretchered off the field, it’s believed with a back injury that could keep him out for some time.
