Cristiano Ronaldo falls short in bid for Saudi Pro League glory

The King’s Cup match between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal was a tense affair, with both teams determined to secure victory. At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo played a key role in the match, setting a new Saudi Pro League record with 35 goals. However, despite his impressive performance, Ronaldo was unable to help Al-Nassr win the trophy.

Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in January 2023 and has since scored 58 goals in just 64 matches. However, the team only has one piece of silverware to show for his efforts – last year’s Arab Club Champions Cup. The match saw former Premier League player Aleksandar Mitrovic open the scoring for Al-Hilal, with Ayman Yahya equalizing shortly after.

The chaotic match featured multiple red cards, including one to Al-Hilal goalkeeper David Ospina. Despite their best efforts, both teams were unable to gain a significant advantage over each other and the match ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time.

In the penalty shootout that followed, Ronaldo had a chance to win the trophy for his team. However, he missed a key penalty and Al-Hilal went on to win the shootout 5-4. Ronaldo was left in tears as he sat on the bench watching his teammates collect their runner-up medals. Despite finishing second in the league, this loss was undoubtedly a blow for Ronaldo and his teammates who had been hoping to secure their first major trophy together.
