Despite the emphatic victory, Al-Nassr finds themselves trailing undefeated Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League standings, though comfortably ahead of third-place Al-Ahli.
Ronaldo’s stellar performance this season, marked by an astonishing 32 league goals, positions him as a frontrunner in the Golden Boot race.
Ballon d’Or contention
With Ronaldo’s remarkable contributions to Al-Nassr this season, coupled with the potential for a strong showing for Portugal at the upcoming Euros, speculations arise about his chances for a sixth Ballon d’Or title.
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy reported in previous news that Cristiano Ronaldo displayed a surprising act of selflessness in a recent match between Al-Nassr and Al-Khaleej by generously allowing his teammate Sadio Mane to take a penalty kick. This move showcased a side of Ronaldo often overlooked by critics, who perceive him as self-centered.
