What did Ronaldo say after the big shock?

Ronaldo and Al Nassr have only 6 matches left to hope

Ronaldo just scored a double in the 2-1 win over Al Riyadh on April 13, helping Al Nassr have 3 consecutive wins to significantly narrow the gap with the 2 leading teams, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal. The match against Al Qadsiah (ranked 5th) is an opportunity for the Portuguese star and his teammates to continue their winning streak to get closer to the 2 leading teams to compete for the championship.

However, Ronaldo and his teammates had a poor day. The 40-year-old player himself also played poorly, not creating many significant opportunities.

Al Nassr were 1-0 down in the 35th minute thanks to Al Ammar. Sadio Mane rekindled hope of at least securing a point when he equalized for Al Nassr in the 84th minute. However, just 3 minutes after the equalizer, Ronaldo's teammates made a defensive mistake allowing veteran striker Aubameyang to score in the 87th minute to give Al Qadsiah the win.

Despite the shocking defeat, Al Nassr still maintains 3rd place in the Saudi Pro League, but they are now being widened by the 2 leading opponents, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, to 8 and 4 points respectively.

The 2024-2025 Saudi Pro League has only 6 rounds left to finish. Therefore, Ronaldo and Al Nassr's hopes of competing for the championship are becoming increasingly fragile.

On social network X, Ronaldo expressed: "Every match from now on is an opportunity to move forward. Let's stand together Al Nassr!".

In addition to the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo and Al Nassr have another chance to hope for a championship, the AFC Champions League Elite, when they enter the quarterfinals against Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan), playing on April 27.

Although he has not helped Al Nassr win any championship, Ronaldo has just been offered a contract extension by the leadership of this Saudi Arabian team for another 2 years until after the 2026 World Cup.
