Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Teammate Sweeps Al Hilal’s Neymar Clean to Secure Rare Champions League Honor

Al Nassr is currently having a mixed season with a variety of results. Differently for the players, they are having an excellent 2023-24 with some significant contributions that have proved vital for the team. The Saudi Pro League has become a bit tough for all the teams with new players. One teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo took the same opportunity to ace Neymar, not in the Saudi League but in an even better event.

Al Nassr paved the way for other teams and the whole league to buy world-class players from around the world. This has proved pivotal in making Al Nassr and other Saudi Pro League teams tough competitors in the AFC Champions League as well.

Al Nassr player beats Neymar in a proud achievement

Neymar is known for his creative soccer skills and magical goals. He has some great trophies and records, and to ace him is a proud achievement for any young player around the globe. Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate, Anderson Talisca, recently won the best goal of the AFC Champions League second round. The players shared an Instagram story that revealed this jubilant news to all their followers.

The Brazilian midfielder, who joined Al Nassr in 2022, has won the award over Al Hilal’s Neymar. Neymar scored his first goal for Al Hilal after many appearances and criticism. AFC awarded the round’s most beautiful goal to Talisca, who hit the bottom left corner of the post against Istiklol FC. To make it even better, the goal belongs to Al Hilal, Al Nassr’s main rival.

The award is given by voting by the fans who backed the junior Brazilian and gave him 86 percent of the votes. Neymar’s goal against 10-sided FC Nassaji Mazandaran received just 13 percent of the overall votes. That was a clear dominance by the former Benfica midfielder, who is a very crucial player for Ronaldo’s team.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Talisca are important for Al Nassr

Talisca has recently renewed his contract with Al Nassr, which will keep him till 2026. But, since he arrived, the Brazilian is still a major contributor to the team. He has already scored 47 goals for the club in both major competitions. Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest scorer for Al Nassr with 16 goals this season. He also won two Player of the Month awards in the Saudi League. Both have been a blessing for the team this season.

In August, there were talks of Al Nassr terminating Talisca’s contract, as the AFC allows only five non-Asian players per team. However, the player continues to be effective scoring seven goals and providing two assists this season. The best goal award for Talisca is a big compliment, as Neymar is a former Puskas Award winner.
