On April 30, Al Nassr suffered a 2-3 defeat to Kawasaki Frontale in the AFC Champions League semi-finals, thus being eliminated from the tournament. In this match, Ronaldo did not score or make any assists. He played poorly and was always closely followed by Kawasaki Frontale players.

On his personal page, Ronaldo wrote: "Sometimes dreams have to wait. I am proud of this team and what we have contributed on the pitch. Thank you to the fans for believing in us and accompanying us through every match. Your support is priceless."

Al Nassr is facing the risk of going empty-handed this season as it was also eliminated from the King's Cup in October 2024. In the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo and his teammates are 8 points behind the top team Al Ittihad, with only 5 rounds left to play.

At 40, Ronaldo faces his third trophyless season since moving to Saudi Arabia. He won an unofficial Arab Champions Cup title with Al Nassr after a victory over Al Hilal in the summer of 2023.

Since the beginning of this season, Ronaldo has scored 23 goals for Al Nassr in the SPL, leading the league's top scorer list. In the AFC Champions League, CR7 has scored 8 more goals after 7 matches.

Al Nassr will have a big match in the Saudi Pro League with direct rival Al Ittihad on May 7. This will be the last chance for coach Stefano Pioli and his team to keep their hopes alive in the race for the championship.

Ronaldo's classy performance at the age of 40. In the early morning of April 5, Ronaldo had an impressive performance, helping Al Nassr defeat their arch-rival Al Hilal.
