If any soccer player is going through arguably the biggest slump of his career, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo. In the past few months, they benched him, he left the ground in the middle of a game, got benched in the national team in knockouts, saw his dream of a world cup trophy breaking in front of his eyes, left Manchester United, went Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Nassr, and got knocked out yet again.
Fans are feeling bad for their superstar, fans of other stars are having a field day trolling him, and his fall from grace has bamboozled critics. However, the star has a lot of fights left in him. In the middle of a disappointing phase, he keeps his head high and works hard to ensure an explosive return.

Ronaldo Parted ways with Manchester United, coming to a mutual agreement after a fiery Piers Morgan interview. As soon as the news got out, Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr made no delay in putting an unbelievable number in front of the star. Although it appeared that he was waiting for any offers from Europe, he eventually signed with the Arabian club in a 200 million USD-a-year deal.
Cristiano Ronaldo shared a message with fans
The latest blow in the worst phase of a decorated career came just days ago. Ronaldo had only played 2 league matches for Al-Nassr yet, and he is goalless.

He is facing immense criticism from fans of the club. Being such an expensive and experienced player, fans are expecting results from the Portuguese giant and he has yet to show any comprehensive output.
