Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the world after finally winning his first trophy with Al Nassr. The Portuguese star was facing a lot of criticism and backlash after leaving Europe for Saudi Arabia. However, the Real Madrid icon move influenced several top international players to join the Saudi Pro League.

In addition to that, the 38-year-old soccer star also finished as the top-scorer and scored six times in the tournament. Apart from the splendid achievements, Ronaldo is getting called out as a ‘finished player’ by ruthless fans. Despite the 5x Ballon d’Or winner’s efforts to lift the Arab Cup trophy, Al Nassr has suffered back-to-back defeats in the Saudi Pro League.

After the humiliating performance against Al Taawoun, Ronaldo continues to receive backlash. Furthermore, the Portuguese star’s recent actions towards Al Nassr’s supporters raised several questions.

Cristiano Ronaldo caught in criticism for Al Nassr’s recent loss

Al Nassr’s star, Ronaldo, has contributed immensely to the popularity of the Saudi League. Furthermore, with his recent Arab Club Champions Cup title, the soccer veteran continues to make waves. Not to forget, the Al Nassr’s star earns around a whopping $226 million from the club. Regardless, the Portuguese goal machine recently garnered a lot of criticism after losing against Al Taawoun.

Interestingly, the 38-year-old soccer legend fumbled in a one-on-one situation during a league game. Because of that, several ruthless fans called Ronaldo a ‘finished player’. However, haters forget to include the Portuguese star’s splendid fitness despite being 38 years old. Moreover, Ronaldo captivated the crowd with a breathtaking display of step-over dribbling skills on the field.

Despite Ronaldo’s immense efforts to bring another victory home, Al Nassr had to face a humiliating loss. After the match, Al Nassr player, Sadio Mane, apologized to fans for their defeat and under-performance against Al Taawoun. Indeed, Mane’s humble apology gained a lot of attention; however, it also brought negative criticism to the rest of the team.

Surprisingly, fans are accusing Ronaldo and his teammates of their rude behavior in comparison to Sadio Mane. Although Ronaldo’s team could have released a sincere apology, there shouldn’t be a negative opinion of their attitude. Ronaldo has been circled around numerous critics since joining Al Nassr and his performance wasn’t under question for the crowd.

Therefore, haters’ comment on Ronaldo as an ‘arrogant and finished player’ shouldn’t be promoted. Apart from the Portuguese star, Neymar Jr has also been in the spotlight after announcing his Saudi Arabia move.

After Ronaldo, Neymar Jr joins Saudi Pro League

Neymar Jr is arguably one of the most underrated players in the history of soccer. The Brazilian star is recognized for his unmatched dribbling skills, acceleration, and speed. Not to forget, Neymar was instrumental in Barcelona’s success from 2013 to 2017, totaling 105 goals in 186 games with the club across all competitions.
