Success often comes with a price, and in the case of Saudi giant Al-Nassr, that price has always been high. With Cristiano Ronaldo leading the charge, Al-Nassr is currently basking in a remarkable run of form. Their unbeaten streak of 16 matches in all competitions has solidified their contention for the Saudi Pro League title. However, despite their impressive performances, there’s a controversy lurking beneath, involving refereeing errors.

A former referee has come up to call out for the examination of the false refereeing decisions that Al-Nassr has been facing throughout the season. Let’s delve into this latest development at Al-Nassr, whose success has reportedly been hindered by officials’ false decisions.

Refereeing errors under scrutiny, as a former referee defends ‘exposed’ Al-Nassr

Amid the resounding victories and Cristiano Ronaldo’s brilliance, Al-Nassr has found themselves as the “most exposed” to refereeing errors this season. Former Egyptian referee, Jamal Al-Ghandour, has voiced his concerns, calling for a comprehensive review of the refereeing errors that have plagued Al-Nassr. In a statement, the former referee claimed, “We must look at Al-Nassr’s matches this season to see the refereeing errors it was exposed to, as it is one of the clubs most exposed to refereeing errors.”

The words of Al-Ghandour echo the frustrations of Al-Nassr’s players and management staff, who have been consistently victimized by the referee’s errors. Notably, an incident that underscores the refereeing woes faced by the club took place a few days ago during their King’s Cup clash against Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq. Cristiano Ronaldo found himself at the center of a controversy surrounding the officials’ decision. After being flagged offside by VAR, Ronaldo disagreed with the referee, as his frustration boiled.

The Portuguese star’s frustration peaked when Talisca’s goal was disallowed by VAR, due to Ronaldo’s offside positioning interfering with the play. Later in the match, Talisca received a controversial red card following a VAR check, leaving Ronaldo more fuming. As a result, the Al-Nassr star forward protested the referee’s calls and even asked for the referee to be substituted. This showcased Al-Nassr’s continuing woes with the officials.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to shine for Al-Nassr

Despite being ‘exposed’ to the refereeing errors, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to dazzle on the pitch for Al-Nassr. In their recent league match against Al-Khaleej, Ronaldo led Al-Nassr to a resounding 2-0 victory, making headlines once again. His opening goal, a remarkable long-range strike, left fans awestruck, and he followed it up with an assist for Aymeric Laporte, securing another crucial win for Al-Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo currently stands as the top-scorer and assister in the Roshn Saudi League. With 12 goals and 7 assists in 12 games for Al-Nassr, the Portuguese sensation remains the driving force behind Al-Nassr’s title challenge.
