At the end of 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo quarreled with the authorities of Manchester United and went to Al-Nassr. The Portuguese star started the trend of transfers to Saudi Arabia, in which we will now find a lot of class players. Currently, Real Madrid legend is playing the third season in the team from Riyadh. Until now, during his term, Al-Nassr has not yet reached for any trophy.
Cristiano Ronaldo moved away from the championship. It wasn't supposed to be like that!
And there are many indications that in the ongoing campaign a trophy will not be added to the club display case again. On Friday, February 21, the Ronaldo band played at home with Al-Ettifaq in the 21st round. The hosts packed with stars unexpectedly lost 2: 3. The hero of the guests turned out to be Georginio Wijnaldum, which we watched in the Champions League final not so long ago. The Dutchman scored two goals. He won the second in the 89th minute, determining the result of the meeting.
The whole match was played by Cristiano Ronaldo, who never once managed to hit the net. Drying a 40-year-old lasts from two queues. The defeat meant that Al-Nassr is currently only fourth in the Saudi Professional League table. He is already losing eight points to the first al-ittihad. In the event of a victory in the 21st series of games, the Karima Benzeme team can jump to eleven points.
Thus, the national championship was more and more moving away from the Ronaldo team and only a miracle I could let them overtake my rivals. Although the 40-year-old with 16 goals on his account remains the leader of the shooter classification, his goals are not enough for al-Nassr to dominate the rest of the stake. The last time Portuguese club won the Saudi league in 2019. As you can see, even after a historical transfer, it is difficult to repeat this feat.
