In the world of soccer, few names hold as much weight and dominance as Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker has been a force to reckon with in the Saudi Pro League, and his impact on the field is undeniable. With Ronaldo leading the pack, Al Nassr has been on a winning spree, and the same showing happened recently against Al Raed. The massive win also prompted a message from their proud captain.

Currently sitting in the fifth position in the SPL, Al Nassr has had a remarkable journey so far. It is worth noting that the team had a slow start to the season, failing to secure victories in their first two matches. However, their return to form has been nothing short of extraordinary. With an impressive goal tally of 21 goals scored in just five matches, Al Nassr is proving to be a formidable force in the league.

However, it was Ronaldo who stole the show, scoring his seventh goal of the league in the 78th minute, leading his team to a convincing 3-1 victory. Following the win, Ronaldo took to his Instagram to share a heartfelt message with his fans and followers. The post was accompanied by a picture of him and the team celebrating their triumph.

In Iran, social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp are prohibited. This means that the Portuguese star won’t have access to these communication channels while he is there. Additionally, Ezzatollah Zarghami, the Iranian Minister of Tourism, has made it clear that Ronaldo will not receive any special privileges to stay connected with his loved ones.

As stated by Zarghami: “We do not give Ronaldo unlimited internet in Tehran. He must install national communication programs in Iran, such as ‘Ita’ and ‘Ballah’ so that he can communicate with his family and friends”.  These additional obstacles will certainly pose challenges for the renowned superstar during this crucial match in Iran.
