Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t know when to quit. The Al Nassr skipper wants to put all on the line with the season now at its business end. With 8 games still left in the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano is not ready to hand over the title to Al Hilal despite a 9-point margin separating the two sides. The Al Nassr skipper gave his best attempt at rallying the troops following the team’s 1-0 win over Al Khaleej.

Cristiano took to his Instagram as he shared images from the game before leaving an 8-word message in the caption. He stated, “Happy with the win, let’s keep it going! 🔥”

The win over Al Khaleej will surely provide the Knights of Najd with some much-needed momentum. Al Nassr and Al Khaleej will lock horns once again this Wednesday. However, the stakes will be much higher, with the winner punching their ticket into the finals of the King Cup. This could be an enormous opportunity for Al Nassr to finish the season with silverware to their name.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Pro League hope a pipedream?

While Cristiano Ronaldo wants to give his all during the last stretch of the campaign, it could all go up in smokes in the coming weeks. Despite Al Nassr’s resilience as they keep themselves alive in the title race, catching up to Al Hilal could be a fool’s errand. The Blue Waves are 9 points clear of the Knights of Najd in the league standings, with a one-game advantage to boot. A win in their upcoming game takes their lead to 12 points, which could blow any chance of a slip-up out of the water.

If Al Nassr wants to win the league title from this situation, the team will have to win all their remaining eight games while Al Hilal loses at least four of their eight games. This seems like an improbable outcome, considering Al Hilal has been at the top of their game this season. Al Nassr’s only chance of winning a title would be the King Cup, provided the team defeats Al Khaleej next week.
