Immediately after the game, Ronaldo took to Instagram to share his jubilation with his 615 million followers. He posted an image of himself celebrating a goal, accompanied by a picture of the entire Al Nassr squad. In the caption, he expressed his excitement and hunger for success, saying, “Third consecutive win! We’re hungry for more, let’s keep going Al Nassr!” 

Sending out motivating messages after a victory has become somewhat of a tradition for Cristiano Ronaldo. It also seems to be working wonders for the team, as their performances have been exceptional. The match against Al Ettifaq was no exception, with Alex Telles scoring a remarkable goal from outside the box.

Marcelo Brozovic followed suit while finding the back of the net from Cristiano Ronaldo’s header assist. Moreover, the Portuguese icon himself scored from a penalty, bringing his total number of goals for the year to an impressive 51. The 38-year-old’s leadership on and off the pitch has undoubtedly played a significant role in Al Nassr’s recent success. However, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Although Al Nassr’s victory against Al Ettifaq is significant for the team, they still have a long journey ahead in their pursuit of the Saudi Pro League title. With 40 points, they currently occupy the second position in the league table, trailing behind Al Hilal by 10 points. Closing such a considerable gap within half a season will undoubtedly be challenging, especially considering that Al Hilal is still unbeaten in the league.
