Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been making headlines again, this time with his team Al Nassr. The team had a match against Al Raed, which Al Nassr won 4-0, with Ronaldo scoring a goal with a powerful header (Sports Illustrated, Sky Sports, Sporting News, Sportstar, VAVEL.com). This win helped to close the gap in the Saudi Pro League title race, with Al Nassr trailing the league leader, Al Ittihad, by just three points (Sporting News). Ronaldo has been playing for Al Nassr since 2022 and has scored 11 goals in 14 appearances (Sky Sports).
Interestingly, there has been some controversy around Ronaldo’s transfer to Al Nassr. Earlier this week, there were rumors that the club’s president, Musalli Al-Muammar, had said he felt “cheated” by the transfer (Daily Post Nigeria). However, the club has since denied these claims, stating that they are “groundless” (Daily Post Nigeria).
In other news related to the team, an executive who helped sign Cristiano Ronaldo to Al Nassr has recently resigned amid a disappointing season for the club (Goal.com). Despite this setback, Al Nassr continues to be a top team in the Saudi Pro League, currently sitting in second place behind Al Ittihad. Fans of the team will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the rest of the season, especially with Ronaldo leading the way on the field.
