Despite 1st Trophy in Saudi, Cristiano Ronaldo Gives Up Massive Reward to Al Nassr in a Rare Gesture

Cristiano Ronaldo is having an ecstatic influence in his second season with Al Nassr. The Portuguese star already clinched his first-ever trophy on Arabian soil with his illustrious performances. The team received a huge boost to their season after securing the Arab Club Champions Cup. Al Alami is having good fortune this season after the finals, with ten wins and just two losses in the last 12 games.

Meanwhile, soccer fans also witnessed an impressive gesture from Al Nassr’s captain following his rejection to accept any award for his triumph in the domestic competition.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a humble gesture after winning the Arab Cup

The Knights of Najd received a staggering $6 million cash prize after winning the domestic tournament. They secured a resounding 2-1 victory against Al Hilal in the finals, earning them this emphatic reward. However, Saud Al Sarami, a Saudi journalist, reported that Cristiano Ronaldo gave up his share of the cash prize.

The 5x Ballon d’Or winner desired the reward to be utilized effectively for the benefit of the club. Al Sarami remarked, “Cristiano Ronaldo refused to receive the Arab Cup Championship reward, and asked to spend it on anything that serves the club.”

‘CR7’ guided 10-man Al Alami to secure the cup. The Portuguese soccer legend played a crucial role with his goal brace. Furthermore, he also showcased his goal-scoring prowess consistently in the tournament with six goals, cementing his position as the top scorer.

The former Los Blancos star’s sportsman spirit, even after attaining glory on the championship stage, served as an inspiration for many soccer players. Ronaldo is seemingly making his mark in the other competitions with other viral moments for Al Nassr as well this season.

Without a doubt, his decision to move to Saudi Arabia in January was a shocker. While everything hasn’t been the smoothest since Ronaldo’s transition, the pros clearly outweigh the cons here. From missing out on the SPL title glory last season to recently pulling off a stunner against Istiklol, the Portuguese soccer legend is surely on a mission!

CR7 has no plan to stop scoring for Al Nassr

The Manchester United legend has netted 25 goals in the 29 games after he signed for Al Nassr. This season, he is currently the top goal scorer in the SPL with ten goals, demonstrating his exceptional form. Furthermore, CR7 secured consecutive SPL Player of the Month awards both in August and September, highlighting the significant impact that he has had. Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net during his last AFC Champions League game.

Luis Castro’s men went down against Istiklol in the first half of the game. The 38-year-old veteran stepped up to execute a delicate chip in the hour mark to even the match in the AFC CL tie. Al Nassr sealed the game with a 3-1 scoreline for their second victory in the group stage match. As a result, soccer fans look forward to this winning streak with CR7’s influence on the team as the season progresses.
