Al Nassr disaster

Ronaldo has yet to win a trophy since leaving Juventus in 2020.

After not playing in the 9-0 win over Al Okhdood, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to be absent in the reception of Al Taawon.

Despite taking the lead thanks to Otavio's goal early in the second half, Al Nassr still let their opponents equalize and had to accept a disappointing share of points right at home at King Saud University.

This result is a heavy blow to the ambitions of the capital Riyadh team. Currently, coach Stefano Pioli and his team are stuck in 4th place in the Saudi Pro League with 64 points and no longer have the right to decide in the race for a ticket to the AFC Champions League Elite.

If they fail to win both of their final matches, Al Nassr will have a disastrous season. Ronaldo and his teammates have failed in the Saudi Pro League, Saudi Kings Cup, Saudi Supercup and are at great risk of not being able to participate in Asia's most prestigious cup tournament in the 2025/26 season.

Al Nassr are set for a summer transfer window filled with uncertainty. Saudi Arabian media reported that the Middle Eastern country's Public Investment Fund wants to keep Ronaldo for a few more years. However, he could join another club.

Besides, some stars like Aymeric Laporte also plan to return to Europe, while coach Pioli's future is also uncertain.
