Ronaldo announces farewell to Al Nassr: 'This chapter is over'

Ronaldo's team boosted, but still poor

Al Nassr were almost "gifted" 3 points by the Saudi Pro League organizers, after a controversial complaint last season about Al Orobah's use of an ineligible player. However, despite gaining 3 more points to reach 70 points, Ronaldo and his teammates were unable to secure a place in the AFC Champions League Elite, after the final round of the Saudi Pro League ended.

Ronaldo contributed 1 goal when opening the score in the 42nd minute in the match against Al Fateh, along with 1 goal by Sadio Mane scored in the 75th minute. But all of that was not enough to help Al Nassr win. The home team Al Fateh managed to equalize the score 1-1 in the last minute of injury time at the end of the first half and scored 2 more goals at the end of the match to come back to win with a score of 3-2.

Even if Al Nassr win, they will not be able to move up to second place in the Saudi Pro League, as their rivals Al Hilal also decided the game themselves, beating Al Qadsiah 2-0 to reach 75 points. So it all ends for Ronaldo and Al Nassr with another trophyless season and, worse, they do not win any Asian Cup spot as a consolation.

After the match, Ronaldo posted a shocking message that is said to be saying goodbye to Al Nassr, because he has not yet signed a contract extension, while his current contract is about to end on June 30. "This chapter is over. As for the story? Still being written. Thank you everyone," Ronaldo expressed on Instagram.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca : "This is Ronaldo's farewell announcement to Al Nassr, but he confirmed that he will continue to play. Up to now, Ronaldo has high hopes of playing in the Club World Cup, but it is not clear which club he will join. In the immediate future, Ronaldo will return to the Portuguese national team to play in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals against Germany. The future of this famous player continues to be a mystery."

Ronaldo has now reached 800 career club goals, and has scored 936 career goals. He also won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second consecutive year.

However, at the collective level with Al Nassr Club, this is the third consecutive season that he has not helped the team win any championship title, except for the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup friendly championship trophy.
