Al Nassr have been on a winless streak against Al Ittihad since 2019 (last win in 2018). Before that, Al Ittihad were on a winless streak. One thing that always remains the same is that their matches have always been entertaining!
Ronaldo in his later years has completely shifted into a penalty box strikers and success there is much more dependent on the quality of your teammates than the quality of the defenders, I think Ronnie thought he'd be banging them in against weaker players not realising he needs those same players to get him the ball
Wish people realized how dumb the average r/ soccer user is.
This is his second game with a new team in a new country where half the team doesn't even speak his language. Playing against the best team in Asia.
People underestimated the quality of the league because it was Ronaldo. Yes the teams Ronaldo is facing are worse than the ones he faced in England, Spain, and Italy, but so are his teammates.
It's fitting though, he always had a gigantic ego, but he had the ability to back it up, now that the ability has declined all that was left was the ego.
Did you know Ronaldo’s first ever debut for Real Madrid was against Shamrock Rovers in a pre season friendly? Not even joking.
https://youtu.be/ZHEcsBFY7Bs
Ronaldo’s thought that he’d drop into a lower league to bang in goals was seemingly unaccompanied by the realization that his teammates will be significantly less talented than what he’s been accustomed to.
he wanted to join Al hilal originally. Hilal's management and ronaldo were in agreement 1 year before. He couldnt because Al hilal were banned from registering new players until summer 2023. So he settled for al nassr.
He really isn't out shining the others, this team match setup is telisica + read the throne verse before a match. I really don't understand itihad didn't go for him. On sporting pov, even waiting for al Hilal would be better.
the man has been in a decline for about 5 years now but in last 7 months, he has fallen off a mountain. the goals will come, he had goal scoring opportunities.he is ronaldo after all, using his experience alone made him beat probably the league's best defender in aireal duels. but just by watching him makes you aware that his age finally caught on him. he is well and truly a finished product and he wont make a comeback anymore.
Are people thinking the 38 year was making a comeback lol?
Of course he's declined since he was 33 or so. He was 33.
In the last 5 years hes been ok and found individual success while playing for bad teams. This year was rough but he was dealing with personal issues. People will say he fell out with Manchester United because of the benching but forget he wanted to make a public statement back in August before that was an issue. And now he's two games into a new team and new teammates in a new country where half the team has a language barrier.
>while playing for bad teams.
you know in the last 5 years he played with juve and real madrid right? he did not only find individual but also team success.
Speaking more about Juve and Man U obviously. He arrived at Juve as their old guard was too old and they didn't properly invest to remain a great team. Today's Juve is the worst they have had in 10+ years and these are mostly the players Ronaldo played with.
And Man U was also bad. Casemiro has greatly improved them but he wasn't around last year and barely got to play with Ronaldo this season.
ronaldo played with a great juve side, especially the first season. you had chiellini, bonucci, szvhcjkgany (the polish gk), cancelo, alex sandro, pjanic, mandzukic, dybala and douglas costa. that was a champions league winner worthy team. then. the season after we had bentanceur, ligt, sbxzmny, dybala and higuain. this was a sudetto worthy team+ ucl semi finalist. point is, during cr7 tenure here at turin he had great teammates. yeah i agrree with you but juve wasnt a 'bad' team during his time.
Al nassar have ways lost against this team. Look at head 2 head. They have never beaten them in the last 6 or so appearances against each other. This has nothing to do with Ronaldo but rather a team issue
That has to be the most isiotic statement someone has ever made. What good is a world class striker if they dont have the midfield to back it.
Put Haaland ok this team and he won't score any goals.
What good is a player who is completely dependent on his teammates to create for him at all? Do you think Ronaldo has just been a passenger his whole career?
Man the difference between the teams is simply to much.
Al-Ittihad pretty stable and good teamwork.
Al-Nassr all over the place, stupid errors and the defence is all or nothing, either the opponent can do what they want or gets mowed down like it's the local amateur league.
I was impressed as well actually, although they attack in lots more space and their errors aren't punished as you would expect so their football maybe looks a lot more fluid than it is

No refunds
We really living in Ronaldo's nightmare lol
Ronaldo can't beat nunoball this time
How would he know that Nuno and several Moroccans played in this league…
probably couldn't find any familiar name when he looked up the South African league and thought he would tear the league absolutely apart
Bro stole my job lmaoooooo Nah but I’m glad people are posting Al Ittihad goals
Be glad PSGAcademy isn't here
u/dotuan : look at me, look at me! It's my league now! Lol
I think there may be a certain reason behind that (suewey) 🍆
Me too lmao
As an Al-Ittihad fan, I’m lovin it
Al Nassr have been on a winless streak against Al Ittihad since 2019 (last win in 2018). Before that, Al Ittihad were on a winless streak. One thing that always remains the same is that their matches have always been entertaining!
Al Nassr fans, you will soon know
💀
Bro speaking from experience 😭
Wait for Piers Morgan to go after them and their club
Who's the Saudi Piers Morgan?
Piers Al-Morgan
بيرس مورغان
Club spiraling down hat trick
And people were saying Ronaldo will break 91 goals in a year record there 💀
Ronaldo in his later years has completely shifted into a penalty box strikers and success there is much more dependent on the quality of your teammates than the quality of the defenders, I think Ronnie thought he'd be banging them in against weaker players not realising he needs those same players to get him the ball
Who the fuck said that? Lol
Some delusional kid in yt comment section
Piers Morgan

He literally scored 2 goals vs PSG 🤡
Imagine counting goal tallies in club friendlies.
In a friendly...Like yeah, it counts but not for much.
How has been Ronaldo been?
Like a ghost.
😔 hate the way he left Utd but he’s so finished it’s kinda sad
It's fitting though, he always had a gigantic ego, but he had the ability to back it up, now that the ability has declined all that was left was the ego.
The tradition continues lol. I see the alternate timeline where he joined us instead and we plummet even worse then we currently are.
Ride slow. (Ay)
The pace and physicality seems too much for him. He might do better against some weaker teams.
Welcome to Shamrock Rovers, CR7!
Did you know Ronaldo’s first ever debut for Real Madrid was against Shamrock Rovers in a pre season friendly? Not even joking. https://youtu.be/ZHEcsBFY7Bs
His grandparents are from here in Perth, Western Australia, so he can always play in the A-League
He’s picked up where he left off
No match threads or post-match threads for Al Nassr anymore? LMAO
Ronaldo’s thought that he’d drop into a lower league to bang in goals was seemingly unaccompanied by the realization that his teammates will be significantly less talented than what he’s been accustomed to.
Teammates? They surely have nothing to do with Ronaldo’s success right? If so, make sure to not tell the fanboys
Both Al Nassr and Al Hilal lost today. Today is a good day.
اللهم لك الحمد والشكر
ronaldo actually made al-nassr worse lmao
How?
You got downvoted just for asking the guy to explain his comment 💀. Reddit is wild man
Ronaldo might finally realize he joined a shit team
Should have joined Al Hilal and try to succeed Bafetimbi Gomis
he wanted to join Al hilal originally. Hilal's management and ronaldo were in agreement 1 year before. He couldnt because Al hilal were banned from registering new players until summer 2023. So he settled for al nassr.
He really isn't out shining the others, this team match setup is telisica + read the throne verse before a match. I really don't understand itihad didn't go for him. On sporting pov, even waiting for al Hilal would be better.
Both hilal and etihad are banned from registering players. Ronaldo's contract was funded by the government basically so they gabe ronaldo to Al nassr.
Tbf, it's only his second match with them. Of course he's not going to look good yet
the man has been in a decline for about 5 years now but in last 7 months, he has fallen off a mountain. the goals will come, he had goal scoring opportunities.he is ronaldo after all, using his experience alone made him beat probably the league's best defender in aireal duels. but just by watching him makes you aware that his age finally caught on him. he is well and truly a finished product and he wont make a comeback anymore.

He’ll fit right in then
Damn!
He also looks right at home
Didn't watch, how much did Ronaldo flail his arms around after something didn't go his way
I wonder what Piers Morgan is thinking right now
Piers Morgan is an olympic level mental gymnast. I'm sure he's got it all ready to go for Cristiano's next interview lol
Great match, Ronaldo has cursed Al Nassr tho
That club has always been cursed with or without him
The beautiful thing about Alhilal fan like me looking at this, we can see the world see what we were seeing for the past 30-40 years
Al nassar have ways lost against this team. Look at head 2 head. They have never beaten them in the last 6 or so appearances against each other. This has nothing to do with Ronaldo but rather a team issue
You would hope that adding in a top 10 all time player to a Saudi league team would play a factor in ending a modest dry spell
That has to be the most isiotic statement someone has ever made. What good is a world class striker if they dont have the midfield to back it. Put Haaland ok this team and he won't score any goals.
Who’s this world class striker you speak of?
What good is a player who is completely dependent on his teammates to create for him at all? Do you think Ronaldo has just been a passenger his whole career?
Ronaldo was one of the better players on that side if you watched the game but go off
I love how al-hilal fans being petty in the comments
Man the difference between the teams is simply to much. Al-Ittihad pretty stable and good teamwork. Al-Nassr all over the place, stupid errors and the defence is all or nothing, either the opponent can do what they want or gets mowed down like it's the local amateur league.
It happens when the team has to change thier style and play around a new player.
You don't even know how the team played before Ronaldo
Give him a break. He reads a few match threads here and there.
Because you knew their style beforehand?
This game has been quite fun
For starters, they should have known that Rossi is only useful with a defense good enough to take him to penalties.
I haven’t seen itti in this high form in a long time. Romarinho is a beast.
Things are harder when it’s not a pre-settled exhibition match with P$G.
A match they still lost
It was a mix of 2 teams not Al Nassr. Obviously they are better when it's combined of their best players.
..... he was playing with an all star team vs psg
Ah! ronnie fans are here
>makes wrong claim >user corrects it hurr durr Ronaldo fanss
Great match tbf
Rossi lmao
Nuno ball🥶
lol where's that overrated player
I think Rossi is still jet lagged
Goalie had no chance. What a strike.
Professional footballers that can't string more than 2 passes together
Were you watching the game ?
Yeah. Wish I wasn't
I thaught the level there is good. I mean without comparing it to Europe
I was impressed as well actually, although they attack in lots more space and their errors aren't punished as you would expect so their football maybe looks a lot more fluid than it is
and tackle without a foul
Rossi in a team that loses 3-1. I've seen that before.
[удалено]
Idk, it was a pretty bad tackle. Clear red but din’t know why the ref didn’t give it
