Ronaldo receives more bitter fruit in Saudi Arabia

The Portuguese superstar lost to Karim Benzema in the race for the title of Best Player of the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season.

Benzema has been instrumental in helping Al Ittihad win the domestic league title. He has been involved in a total of 30 goals and assists for his club, two more than Ronaldo.

CR7 was the Saudi Pro League top scorer for the second consecutive year with 25 goals. However, that was not enough for the Portuguese star to compete with his former Real Madrid teammate. Al Nassr only finished in third place, 13 points behind champions Al Ittihad.

Despite being 40 years old, Ronaldo still shows impressive scoring ability, but Benzema's influence and contribution to Al Ittihad are more highly appreciated by experts, helping the French striker dominate this vote.

Benzema has a contract until 2026 at Al Ittihad. He and his teammates have a chance to win the double this season if they win against Al Qadsiah in the King Cup of Champions final on the morning of May 31.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's future remains undecided. CR7 is said to have rejected an offer to move to Al Hilal. This move has left the Saudi Arabian government confused.

The Middle East's Public Investment Fund (PIF) really wants to keep Ronaldo, while also creating conditions for him to play for Al Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup or Al Ahli to participate in the AFC Champions League Elite next season.
