Al Nassr fans were thrilled as Ronaldo led his team to a 4-0 win over Al Raed in the Saudi Pro League on April 28th (Sporting News). This victory helped to narrow the gap between Al Nassr and current league leaders Al Ittihad, with just three points separating them (Sporting News).
The match was marked by Ronaldo’s first goal in four games, scored with a powerful header that secured the early lead for Al Nassr (Sports Illustrated). This was a significant moment for the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player, who has scored 11 goals in 14 appearances for Al Nassr since joining the team in January 2023 (Sky Sports).
Although Ronaldo’s performance has been impressive, his arrival in Saudi Arabia has not been without controversy. There were recent rumors that former Al Nassr president Musalli Al-Muammar felt cheated by Ronaldo’s transfer deal (Daily Mail). However, Al-Nassr denied these claims and stated that Al-Muammar is not the only casualty at the club in recent weeks, with Rudi Garcia being sacked as head coach on April 13th (Daily Mail).
Despite the off-field drama, Ronaldo has helped Al Nassr maintain their position as one of the top teams in the Saudi Pro League. In fact, the team’s success can be attributed to their current second-place standing (Sky Sports).
Overall, Al Nassr fans are undoubtedly pleased with Ronaldo’s success on the field and the team’s current position in the league. As the season continues, all eyes will be on Ronaldo and his ability to lead Al Nassr to victory (Arab News).
