Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk sent a congratulatory message to football legend Cristiano Ronaldo following his impressive performance in Al-Nassr’s 3-1 win over Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League on Monday.
The match, held at the Al Bayt Stadium, was a crucial fifth group-stage fixture for Al-Nassr, who entered the game in third place in Group B.
After a scoreless first half, Ronaldo broke the deadlock in the 46th minute with a clinical finish from Sultan Al-Ghannam’s cross. Angelo Gabriel doubled Al-Nassr’s lead in the 58th minute following a clever one-two with Otavio. Ronaldo struck again in the 64th minute, sealing his brace and widening the visitors’ advantage.
Although former Real Madrid striker Joselu managed to pull one back for Al-Gharafa in the 75th minute, it wasn’t enough to derail Al-Nassr’s momentum.
Post-match, Ronaldo shared celebratory images on his X account, captioning them, “Big win tonight!” Musk responded simply yet warmly: “Congrats!”
Ronaldo’s stellar form continues to draw global attention, with fans and notable figures alike applauding his achievements on and off the pitch.
