THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ronaldo was on blistering in form throughout February. Not only did the 38-year-old get off the mark for Al-Nassr against Al Fateh on 3 February, but he celebrated scoring his 500th career goal in his side's 0-4 win at Al Wehda six days later, where he netted all four. The Portugal international then provided his first two assists for his new club in a 2-1 victory over Al-Taawoun on February 17 - the first of which was a beauty - before rounding off the month with a hat-trick in Al-Nassr's 0-3 win away to Damac last Saturday.
