CRISTIANO RONALDO avoided potential injury by jumping out of the way of a pitch invader who slipped, nearly taking him out.
The 38-year-old is having a productive time at Al-Nassr after joining on a free transfer late last year.

Ronaldo has five goals and two assists in four games for the Saudi Arabian outfit.
But CR7 was close to picking up an injury ahead of Al-Nassr’s clash with Al-Taawoun on Friday.
In the pre-game warm-up, a fan ran on the pitch hoping to meet the five-time Champions League and Ballon d’Or winner.
But as he approached the player and other Al-Nassr stars, he slipped at Ronaldo’s feet.
Ronaldo sidestepped the star-struck fan and a security guard, who was in hot pursuit.
The ex-Manchester United ace went on to play a blinder, assisting two in the 2-1 win.
One of his cutting-edge passes earned rave reviews.
With the ball in the Al-Nassr defensive half, the ball fell to Ronaldo who had spotted winger Abdulrahman Ghareeb making a run down the left flank.

Ronaldo then launched a first-time pass towards the Saudi Arabia international.
Ghareeb then skipped pass a backpedalling defender before converging down on goal and whipping the ball into the corner past goalkeeper Mailson.
