Cristiano Ronaldo’s Hard-Hitting Kick Blows Away Cameraman Leaving His Head Swollen in Al Nassr Win

The away fixture at Al Raed went great for Cristiano Ronaldo as Al Nassr came out victorious. The Portuguese skipper bagged a goal and closed the game. However, a change in the Portuguese soccer veteran’s skill is bothering some fans. In the Al Raed game, Ronaldo’s free-kick attempt missed the target. This led to an unexpected turn of events with a cameraman who came in its way.

Once renowned as a free-kick specialist, Cristiano Ronaldo has encountered difficulties when it comes to scoring from set-pieces in recent years. This has raised questions among supporters about his evolving style of play.

Ouch! That’s got to hurt!

Cristiano Ronaldo took a free-kick which missed the target by some distance and ended up hitting a cameraman behind the side hoardings. The ball struck a camera operator positioned behind the goal. Unfortunately, he couldn’t evade the impending impact.

In the aftermath, the cameraman stumbled and nearly fell. His colleagues immediately rushed to assist him and found him with a swollen head. The sheer force of the ball striking the cameraman’s head sent it rebounding high into the crowd which created a momentary frenzy among spectators. While the incident was unfortunate, it also served as a stark reminder of the incredible power and precision behind Ronaldo’s kicks, even when they miss their intended target. In recent times, there’s a lot been going on in the soccer legend’s life.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance on the pitch has surely not been affected by what’s going on behind the scenes. The snub by FIFA for not nominating Ronaldo and the uncertainty surrounding their AFC Champions League spot are a few of the problems.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot on his plate

Al Nassr’s future in the AFC Champions League hangs in the balance. The Saudi club faces potential expulsion due to a violation of AFC ownership regulations. The club’s ownership by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) exceeds the allowable 30% limit based on revenue. This breach puts their participation in Asia’s premier soccer competition at risk. The AFC’s response to these violations will decide Al Nassr’s fate. Meanwhile, other problems persist for Cristiano Ronaldo too.

FIFA snubbed the soccer veteran as he neither received a nomination for the Ballon d’Or nor was included among the 12 nominations for ‘The Best’ player award in 2023. Marcelo Brozovic, Ronaldo’s club mate, earned a nomination for the best player award due to his outstanding performance with Inter Milan last season.

Al Nassr will now face Al Ahli in their next SPL fixture. Al Ahli is third in the league with 5 wins in 6 games. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will have to keep their minds clear and focus on the upcoming games while giving all the off-the-field speculation a backseat. Who do you think has the highest shot power in SPL? Let us know in the comments below.
