    In a nail-biting finish, Cristiano Ronaldo added yet another incredible moment to his career, scoring his 907th goal in the final moments of Al-Nassr's 2-1 victory over Al-Shabab.

    The match, held in the Saudi Pro League, seemed headed for a draw until Ronaldo delivered a 97th-minute penalty to secure the win, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

    Ronaldo's four-word message

    The 39-year-old Portuguese legend took to Instagram after the match, sharing photos with the simple yet powerful caption: “We never give up!!”

    It perfectly summed up the night’s emotions.

    Al-Nassr had taken the lead through Aymeric Laporte's second-half strike, but a late own goal from Ali Alhassan put them in danger of dropping points.

    However, Ronaldo kept his cool when it mattered most. After a foul in the box deep into injury time, he calmly slotted the penalty, sending the opposing goalkeeper the wrong way.

    His latest goal brought his total to an astonishing 907 in a career that continues to defy expectations.

    Ronaldo, who had a tough week following a goalless draw with Scotland in the UEFA Nations League, returned to domestic action with renewed determination.

    Al-Nassr’s win keeps them in the hunt for the Saudi Pro League title, though they still trail Al Hilal by four points.

    With his hunger for goals showing no signs of slowing down, Ronaldo has his sights set on reaching 1,000 career goals before retirement.

    Next up, he and his teammates face Iran’s Esteghlal FC in the AFC Champions League. Will he inch closer to his next milestone?
