Al Nassr’s mission for another trophy resumes tomorrow. The King Cup of Champions quarterfinals beckons for Cristiano Ronaldo and the Riyadh-based club. However, the Portuguese star must remain cautious, as he could face a ban for the crucial semifinal tie.

The Al Nassr skipper has been in terrific form this season, scoring goals for fun. Currently, the top scorer in the league is on a mission to win many trophies as was a staple throughout his career. But there is one thing that can stop him from entering the King Cup semifinal if his team goes through.

Cristiano Ronaldo needs to stay disciplined

Al Nassr qualified for the King Cup quarterfinal after beating Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq in the round of 16. But Cristiano Ronaldo received a yellow card against them in just the 12th minute. This can potentially lead to a ban if he gets another yellow. Sharing the risk is his compatriot Otavio, who was also booked the same game.

Ronaldo was booked in the last game for showing dissent against the referee. Later, the match saw some very intense moments when Anderson Talisca was taken off. The striker was given a second yellow when his elbow hit the face of an opponent player. However, it was Sadio Mane’s late goal in extra time that sealed the quarterfinal spot for Al Nassr.

The 5-time Ballon d’Or winner is known to get angry at referees at times. In fact, CR7 could have received another yellow for raising his voice against Talisca’s decision.

Ronaldo’s completes epic milestone

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo made his 1200th soccer game appearance against Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. There are only few players who played more games than the Al Nassr captain, including the late legend Pele. Additionally, the Al Nassr number seven scored a goal, helping the team win the game comfortably by 4-1.
