For the third season in a row, Cristiano Ronaldo finishes the campaign without a trophy.
Al Nassr has fallen 11 points behind Al Ittihad, the leaders of the Saudi Pro League, officially losing their last remaining chance to win a title this season.
This doesn’t come as a surprise, as the gap had long been significant — all that was missing was the mathematical confirmation to extinguish any remaining hopes for CR7 and his teammates.
Once again, it becomes evident that Ronaldo’s decision to move to Saudi Arabia has been beneficial only from a financial standpoint, certainly not from a sporting perspective.
Across 11 competitions that the former Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus star has participated in with Al Nassr, his team has failed to win a single trophy — despite the 40-year-old’s impressive individual statistics.
CR7 has played 103 matches over the past two and a half years, scoring 91 goals and providing 19 assists.
His only remaining goal now is to finish as the league’s top scorer: he currently leads the chart with 23 goals, two ahead of Benzema and Hamdallah.
Meanwhile, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is likely to extend his contract with Al Nassr for another year, despite recently facing criticism from some of the club’s fans.
