Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact on soccer in Saudi Arabia has been phenomenal. The 38-year-old has proved that age is just a number. After two back-to-back defeats to kick off their new SPL season, the soccer legend has come back strongly. But the onus of scoring is solely not on him anymore. The Saudi-based soccer club has some notable additions to the team like Sadio Mane and Otavio.
Al Nassr will strive to win the Saudi Pro League this season after narrowly missing out on the title last season. However, with other teams strengthening their squad with European soccer talents, winning the title won’t be the easiest. Winning the Arab Club Champions Cup earlier this year will surely act as a major morale and confidence booster helping them to aim even higher this season.
