Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly the greatest soccer player of all time. However, in recent times, that debate has faded away. Just as 2022 ended, the Portuguese star took the sudden decision of joining Al-Nassr, a Saudi Arabian soccer club. The Saudi soccer league has never had the amount of limelight it currently does since Ronaldo joined them. Yesterday, Al-Nassr shockingly lost 3-1 against Al-Ittihad in the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup.

Al-Nassr was considered a definite favorite to win the Saudi Super Cup especially after Ronaldo joined the squad. However, the soccer fans have been extremely unhappy and are now starting to make fun of the soccer legend.

Soccer fans slam Cristiano Ronaldo!

While Ronaldo has just joined Al-Nassr, millions of eyes are already on the soccer legend. Last week, the mood was quite heartwarming after Ronaldo and Messi met on the soccer pitch one last time. However, the criticism from the fans has begun after Ronaldo and his team shockingly lost the semi-final against Nuno Espirito Santo’s Al-Ittihad.

Let’s have a look at how the fans reacted to Ronaldo’s dramatic exit from the Saudi Super Cup.

Without a doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest soccer players of all time. But his decision to opt out of playing European soccer will always be a very controversial one. Quite a few soccer fans believed that the Portuguese soccer legend still had a few years of top-quality soccer still left in him. The American soccer fans came crashing down on Ronaldo after they realized that he chose Saudi over America.

Why did Ronaldo move to Saudi Arabia?

Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the soccer universe after moving to Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese soccer star later clarified that he was there to help ‘develop’ the sport in the country. As monumental as this sounds, Ronaldo could actually make it happen. Over the years, the soccer legend has built a huge and diverse fanbase across the globe. Ronaldo is also one of the most influential people in the sport.

It remains to be seen if Ronaldo can actually create a fan following for soccer in Saudi Arabia. However, it will take quite a while to win back a few fans on his side who are still upset over him leaving European soccer. Halfway through the season, Al-Nassr is currently leading the points table with 33 points. Al-Nassr will have to win the league in order to qualify for the AFC Champions League next season.
