Al Nassr disaster

In the early hours of May 17th, Al Nassr drew 1-1 with Al Taawon in Round 32 of the Saudi Pro League.

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

After missing the 9-0 victory against Al Okhdood, Cristiano Ronaldo was also absent from the match against Al Taawon.

Despite taking the lead thanks to Otavio's goal at the start of the second half, Al Nassr still allowed their opponents to equalize and had to settle for a disappointing draw at their home ground, King Saud University.

This result is a major blow to the ambitions of the Riyadh-based team. Currently, coach Stefano Pioli's team is stuck in 4th place in the Saudi Pro League with 64 points and no longer has control over their own destiny in the race for a spot in the AFC Champions League Elite.

If Al Nassr fail to win both of their remaining matches, they will have a disastrous season. Ronaldo and his teammates have already failed in the Saudi Pro League, Saudi Kings Cup, and Saudi Supercup, and face a high risk of not qualifying for Asia's most prestigious cup competition in the 2025/26 season.

Al Nassr is preparing for a turbulent summer transfer window. Saudi Arabian media reports that the country's public investment fund wants to keep Ronaldo for a few more years. However, he may join another team.

In addition, some stars like Aymeric Laporte are planning a return to Europe, while the future of coach Pioli is also uncertain.
