He may not be involved in the UEFA Champions League anymore, but he has still managed to make headlines during one of those nights he used to dominate.
We're talking about none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, who managed to keep Al Nassr's unbeaten run in the AFC Champions League with a late brace for the yellow and blue, and while at it, the Portuguese ace managed to nab one more record for his already impressive resume.
The first of his goals came from outside the box, when he struck gold with a left-footed shot that went straight into the top right-hand corner of Al Duhail's net (Image might be geo-restricted).

Then, when the match was nearing its end, the Portuguese superstar found the back of the net with a nice volley while inside the box, grabbing one more brace with the Arabian side (image might be geo-restricted).

It is relevant to tell you that Ronaldo was involved in one more goal, as he assisted Anderson Talisca for the opener with a cheeky backheel. These contributions that went up on the scoreboard took CR7's tally to over 40 goals with Al Nassr, helping him reach one more impressive feat.
