Icing on the cake – Al Nassr celebrate Ronaldo's record-setting Portugal cap

Al Nassr celebrated Cristiano Ronaldo's record-breaking Portugal appearance in style.

Given his impeccable commitment to athleticism, Ronaldo might not have dug into the cake he was presented with on Friday.

Al Nassr were celebrating the 38-year-old becoming the most-capped men's player of all time.

Ronaldo made his 197th appearance for Portugal on March 23, scoring twice in a 4-0 defeat of Liechtenstein.

Along with marking that achievement, Al Nassr also celebrated Abdulrahman Ghareeb's 25th birthday.

"Today, we celebrate a record and birthday," the club tweeted. "The record of most capped player in international football [and] the birthday of a talented Saudi player."
