Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr slump to 1-0 defeat to rivals Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo kept off the scoresheet for second game in a row as Al Nassr lose to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia


Al Ittihad scored the game’s only goal after a free-flowing counter-attack was finished off by Brazilian star Romarinho in the 80th minute.


The win for Al Ittihad takes them past Al Nassr and to the top of the Saudi Pro League. The Jeddah side are now one point clear, with both teams having played the same number of games.


The match lacked the drama of previous Al Nassr matches, with the Portuguese star kept off the scoresheet for a second game in a row and his teammates unable to match the injury-time heroics of the 3-1 victory over Al Batin.


Stepovers, nutmegs, powerful runs into the box, trademark headers, gesticulations to referee, teammates and opponents – the full Ronaldo repertoire was on show at Al Ittihad’s King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Jeddah.

All that was missing was a goal. A lashed effort deep into injury time at the end of the match was the closest he came, but Al Ittihad’s goalkeeper was more than a match for the effort and turned the shot wide for a corner kick.


It was a frustrating evening for Ronaldo, much to the delight of a jeering Jeddah crowd.


It is a stadium and fixture that could become a global news story and the focus of the sporting world if rumours linking Lionel Messi with a move to Ittihad prove to be true.

European newspapers including The Sun and Marca claim the Argentine World Cup winner is a target for the Jeddah-based side who are willing to offer a $94m a year contract to move to Saudi Arabia.

Any move is likely to be a long and drawn out affair, with clubs in Europe and America all keen to land the footballing great’s signature if he were to leave PSG in the summer.

What is more certain is that Lionel Messi will pay a visit to the Kingdom this month as part of his role as a brand Ambassador for the Saudi Tourist board .


Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr’s next fixture comes in the midweek when they take on Abha in the King Cup of Champions on Tuesday, March 14.

The two sides will face off against one another four days later when they compete in a league fixture on Saturday, March 18.

The fraud still bottles in a camel's league, I expect him to score 4/5 goals in every match cos he ain't playing against professional footballers, these are part time plumbers, carpenters, Uber drive, cleaners, terrorists lol

What happened to the goal machine, he has kept two clean sheets now.


"The Saudi Pro League is rated as the 58th highest-quality league in the world, according to the strength of its average team, which places it below the Scottish Premiership (49th), but above Serie C (68th) in Italy."

He's used to failure that's why no club want him in Europe, imagine 40 years old Zlatan Ibrahimovic still plays for AC Milan.

Nlfpmod frontpage, pls be fair boss.

"Another hall of shame performance for Cristiano Ronaldo for my Al Nassr.

Aboubakar & Talisca were sidelined for this $200 million dollar man.

MAJOR mistake. And now we aren’t 1st!

Get him out of my club." - Copied.

What a perfect way to get back at tapnaldo fans who were busy attacking the KING OF FOOTBALL, MESSI, the previous night.



Tapnaldo keeps engaging himself in an imaginary competition and rivalry that is not there, thereby leading to desperation.



- tapnaldo stole another player's goal at the world cup... That embarrassing scene will always stick.


- always fighting to play and score all penalty kicks and free kicks


- always ready to tell the media he doesn't have respect for his coach(es)


- thought he said he's not all about the money, so Saudi league move is about challenging European and South American football

Yet his fans will tell u he can feed the whole world...


No hiding place for tapnaldo

Imagine Messi putting in a better performance against Bayern, a top 3 world best club, than Pendu did against a club ranked below number 500 globally.

If Zlatan was in that same dusty league, he'd be bored of scoring multiple scorpion kicks every match. A league where 40 years old forgotten Ighalo is still scoring 4 goals in a single game.

It's funny Pendu is struggling in a grossly amateur league when he should have hatricks every game as a minimum.

Person wey pass you don pass you. Messi na GOAT.

Apt

Fact his deluded fans have been struggling to acknowledge

Same people that crucified Messi for playing in La liga and ligue 1 are massaging his over bruised ego for scoring 8goals in a league field with alhajis🤣🤣🤣

Same people that would jump at obembet asslicking thread are avoiding this cos it will further expose their hypocrisy.

Messi worshippers in the spirit, u guys can as well build a temple.
