Al-Nassr, after a busy transfer window, has been making headlines with their performances in the Saudi Pro League. Led by the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, after a slow start to the season, the team recently secured their first win in the League with a hat trick from the Portuguese player. However, amidst their success, their upcoming rivals have raised concerns about the conditions of the stadium where an upcoming match will take place.

On Tuesday, Al-Nassr also won their match in the AFC Champions League playoff. After thrashing Shabab-Al-Ahli 4-2, they earned themselves a spot in the main tournament. The team has been drawn into Group E, where they will face off against Perspolis, Al-Duhail, and Istiklol. While this news was met with excitement by fans and players alike, it left Perspolis’ director feeling a sense of shame.

Rival director ‘ashamed’ of hosting Cristiano Ronaldo

Perspolis FC, an Iranian club, topped the Iran Pro League last season, qualifying for the prestigious AFC Champions League. However, the condition of their home stadium, Azadi Stadium, has become a source of embarrassment for the club. As the technical director, Yahya Gul Mohammadi expressed his concern.

“I am ashamed of the conditions of the Azadi stadium,” Mohammadi admitted. “How will we bring the legend Cristiano Ronaldo to this stadium?” The Azadi Stadium, one of Iran’s most prominent stadiums, is currently undergoing construction. Unfortunately, due to years of neglect, the overall condition of the stadium has deteriorated.

Concerns about its safety have been raised in the past, with reports of water dripping from the ceilings and signs of dilapidation and decay. These conditions make it unsuitable for hosting such high-profile matches, especially when it involves a soccer legend like Cristiano Ronaldo. The upcoming match between Perspolis is scheduled for September 19, and it will be interesting to see if they can make any improvements before then. In the meantime, let’s take a moment to explore what Cristiano Ronaldo has been up to in Saudi Arabia.

With a hat trick, Ronaldo aids Al Nassr in their first victory

Al Nassr has had a challenging start in the Saudi Pro League, with two consecutive losses. As a result, they found themselves in the 15th position in the league table. However, their third game showed significant improvement. Al Nassr went head-to-head with Al Fateh and secured a convincing victory. In the 27th minute, Sadio Mane opened the scoring with an assist from Ronaldo.

Shortly after, Ronaldo himself got on the scoresheet, extending their lead to 2-0 before halftime. The second half saw the striker score his second goal. In the final moments of the game, Mane added his second goal as well. With injury time finishing, Ronaldo completed his hattrick and sealed a remarkable 5-0 victory for the team. It looks like the team is back on track.
