Al Nassr Chief Finally Rewards Cristiano Ronaldo & Sadio Mane For Arab Club Champions Cup Win

Al Nassr, as a club, can have a self-pat for its achievements last year. The club was involved in a revolutionary move that changed the landscape of soccer in the country. But the club also had a fair share of success for itself, winning the Arab Club Champions Cup before the start of the league. And according to reports, the players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, will not be deprived of their rewards anymore.

The big four of the Saudi Pro League, owned by the Public Investment Fund, have attracted big players from Europe with huge money. However, due to a small roadblock, the club from Riyadh could not complete the payment to the player. But now the issue seems to have settled down.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane ready to receive their rewards

Al Nassr won the Arab Club Champions Cup. But it has taken the management five months to provide the players with their arrears. And finally, the process has reportedly concluded after the procedures for the club’s bank account after privatization have been completed. Ronaldo, along with Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alex Telles were part of the winning squad.

Al Nassr beat Al Hilal 2-1 in the final. Cristiano Ronaldo proved to be the difference between the sides, scoring a brace in the final. Ronaldo finished with six goals in six matches. Since then, it has only been upward for the team, except for a sticky start in the Saudi Pro League. However, catching up with Al Hilal has been tough for them.

Al Hilal, driven by Aleksandar Mitrovic’s stellar performances, may give Al Nassr more contests. Mitrovic, with 17 goals in the league this season, is the only player running close to Ronaldo’s 20. But going ahead, Ronaldo has a bigger task than the Arab Cup coming his way.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr’s look forward to a promising 2024

Al Nassr hopes that the 2023 triumph is just a prelude to the 2024 season. The club will look to win its first AFC Champions League trophy under the UEFA Champions League top scorer. Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals in the tournament currently, but it was Anderson Talisca’s six goals that brought them undefeated to the knockouts.
