Jobe Bellingham has stirred nostalgia among football fans after naming Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning 2018 bicycle kick against Juventus as the most iconic moment in UEFA Champions League history.
The goal scored during Real Madrid’s quarter-final clash in Turin remains one of the most replayed and celebrated strikes in modern football. Al Nassr were quick to amplify the praise, sharing Bellingham’s choice on their official X handle and celebrating their captain’s enduring legacy on the European stage.

That moment in 2018 symbolised Ronaldo at his athletic peak, but remarkably, his story is still being written. As of February 27, 2026, the Portuguese superstar has now reached 965 career goals, continuing his relentless march toward the historic 1,000-goal milestone.
His latest strike came in a dominant 5–0 win over Al-Najma on February 25, calmly converting from the penalty spot to move within just 35 goals of four figures.
The goals have continued to flow this month. He netted twice in a 4–0 victory over Al-Hazem on February 21 and had already marked his return from a brief absence with a goal in a 2–0 win over Al Fateh on February 14.
That comeback performance was widely reported by Softfootball, who highlighted his immediate impact after missing three matches earlier in the month.
At 41 years old, Ronaldo’s longevity remains extraordinary. By scoring in 2026, he has now found the net in 25 different calendar years a staggering record stretching from 2002 to 2026.
Earlier this month, on February 5, he celebrated his 41st birthday surrounded by teammates and staff at Al Nassr’s training ground, a reminder that his hunger and professionalism remain unchanged.
Reports also suggest Ronaldo has agreed to extend his stay with Al Nassr until June 2027, aligning with his ambition to compete at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in peak condition.
From that unforgettable bicycle kick in Turin to chasing 1,000 career goals in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo’s journey continues to bridge generations inspiring young talents like Jobe Bellingham while proving that greatness does not fade with time.
