“Cristiano Ronaldo’s Dreams of Winning the Saudi League Dwindling as Al Ittihad Leads with 6 Games Left to Play”

Cristiano Ronaldo clings tooth and nail to the dream of the Saudi league. An almost impossible miracle to snatch the title from Al Ittihad, coached by Nuno Espírito Santo. After the last league setback in the Riyadh Classic against Al Hilal, Al Nassr sees the championship train move away in favor of the Jeddah club. A jug of cold water that only tarnishes Cristiano’s adventure in Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr is in a very delicate situation with six points behind and with only six games to play. Difficult situation for CR7. The agonizing victory of the leader against the Al Shabab by Vicente Moreno (2-1 with the winning goal at minute 90+16) has fallen like a stone in Cristiano’s aspirations to win the league.

After the bump that meant not even being in the grand final of the Super Cup, was added the disastrous defeat in the semifinals of the Saudi King’s Cup this week against Al Wehda, who played much of the second half with ten players. Not even for those, Cristiano’s team managed to get to the final. A stumbling block that is one more grain of sand to a sportingly tough season for the Portuguese international. A malaise that Cristiano is noticeable in the field, who is seen at times overwhelmed by the bad situation. He wants to pull the bandwagon for his team but cannot find solutions to Al Nassr’s lack of play. In the Cup he was seen yelling at his coach, asking for explanations to avoid a debacle that ended up taking place. Al Nassr have picked up a point in the last two games and Cristiano Ronaldo sees the dream of winning another league title as a chimera.

Cristiano goes to fight by party. In addition, he has a wide point difference ahead of him to solve what is going to be very uphill in the next games. Al Nassr needs a miracle so that Cristiano does not end his first season in Saudi Arabia empty. This Friday (8:30 p.m.) they play in their stadium against Al Raed, a team in the middle of the table, in a new opportunity to put pressure, if possible against Al Ittihad. Another puncture would mean an almost final goodbye. An unprecedented setback for a Cristiano always used to being competitive until the end… And win most of the time. A sad end to the last breaths of the career of the Portuguese star.
