But Ronaldo was forced out injured - although he presence was not missed as Al-Nassr hammered David Beckham's side 6-0.

Otavio and Talisca opened the scoring before ex-Manchester City star Aymeric Laporte scored a stunner from his own half.

The Spanish international spotted keeper Drake Callender off his line and attempted the impossible.

Laporte's effort lobbed Callender perfectly and capped off a truly sensational strike.

It got Ronaldo off his feet in the stands and YouTuber IShowSpeed was gobsmacked as he reacted to the stunner.

Speed - a CR7 super-fan - made the trip from America to Saudi in the hope of watching his icon in action.

But he was left heartbroken when Ronaldo was forced out with a calf injury.

The match hit a sour note when players from both sides clashed in a mass brawl on the pitch.
