Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted he is now used to breaking records after he helped Al-Nassr defeat Al-Rayyan 2-1 in the AFC Champions League at Al-Awwal Park.

During the post-match press conference, Ronaldo stated (via @TheNassrZone):
“Records have become a part of me and I’m used to breaking them.”

“It is not important to me now to be the best player or to win awards. What is important to me now is to enjoy and be useful to my team and my country’s national team.”
Cristiano Ronaldo has been in fine form for Al-Nassr this season, garnering seven goals and two assists in eight appearances across competitions. They are now third in Group B in the Champions League with four points from two games.
