Rested for Portugal's upcoming friendly against Sweden, Cristiano Ronaldo has taken some time away from football and is enjoying a beach holiday with his family. The Al Nassr star took to Instagram to post photos of his family's vacation, where they could be seen having a fantastic time on the banks of the Red Sea.
The 39-year-old also showed off his stunning physique in one of the photos, which once again proves his dedication to fitness. In another photo, he could be seen jogging on the banks with partner Georgina Rodriguez. Here are the photos:

{{/usCountry}}Ronaldo ended Al Nassr's losing streak on Saturday, converting a penalty in the match's only goal against Al Ahli. Al Nassr are slipping away from the title race, and are 12 points behind league leaders Al Hilal. Ronaldo is leading the top-scorer race in the Saudi Pro League with 23 goals, but second-placed Al Ahli striker Aleksandar Mitrovvic is not far behind, with 20 goals.
Al Nassr's poor recent form also saw them crash out of the AFC Champions League after losing to Al Ain in the quarter finals. Al Ain had a 1-0 lead from the first leg, and Al Nassr managed to level proceedings with a 4-3 scoreline after extra time, and what followed was penalties. Al Ain came out on top with a 3-1 shootout victory to progress to the next round.
Ronaldo will be aiming to lead a late fightback for Al Nassr and challenge for the league title, which they failed to win last season. Failure to win the title will be a huge disappointment for the former Manchester United star.
