Cristiano Ronaldo is still producing magic in the Champions League even in Saudi Arabia.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is the record goalscorer in Europe's premier club competition and he's now doing the business in the AFC Champions League.
Ronaldo came up a brilliant brace for Al Nassr in their 4-3 win over Al Duhail.

The 38-year-old received the ball on the right and cut inside. As space opened up, Ronaldo let fly with his supposedly weaker left foot and smashed a stunning strike into the top corner.
Ronaldo had already registered a deft backheel assist early in the game and the worldie put his side 3-0 up in the home group stage fixture against Al Duhail.
Anderson Talisca and Sadio Mane were also on target but just when the game looked dead and buried, the visitors hit back with goals from Ismail Mohomad and Almoez Ali.
However, Ronaldo was on target in the 81st minute to make it 4-2 with another incredible finish.
It was again on his left foot, with Ronaldo conjuring up a sensational first-time volley when the ball was clipped over for him to run onto.
Al Duhail striker Michael Olunga made the finale interesting by cutting the deficit to one in the 85th minute.
Ronaldo's insane double follows up a breathtaking free-kick against Damac on Saturday.
The Riyadh-based outfit came from a goal down to win at King Saud University Stadium, with Ronaldo bagging an unstoppable set-piece winner.
He now has 43 goals in 45 games for club and country in 2023 and is clearly not nearing retirement despite not getting any younger.
Next up for Al Nassr is a Saudi Pro League clash with Al Feiha on Saturday, with Ronaldo set to be in attendance for Tyson Fury's fight with Francis Ngannou later that evening.
Ronaldo met up with the former UFC superstar in January and recently gifted him a watch said to be worth 'nearly half-a-million riyals'.
