The courage you use to stay positive during hard times makes you a champion. Al Nassr has found a way to stay ahead of the other teams by constantly upgrading. They brought Cristiano Ronaldo with a deal that created a win-win situation for both parties and now they are reaping its fruits. Ronaldo is relishing his time at Al Nassr after a series of vital goal contributions in the last few matches. After a Man of the Match performance against Al Taee today, Ronaldo’s colleague feels he was unlucky despite a favorable day.
Al Nassr has made many vital investments. Not only in Ronaldo but in their other signings as well. The club bought top players like Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alex Telles to be competitive. The recent moves seem to be working well for the Saudi club.

Fofana started off on the bench but was called later in the 68th minute. He felt that Ronaldo could have scored more goals if he wasn’t that unlucky with his missed chances. Ronaldo had a great game with one goal and an assist to his name. The Al Nassr star received a few opportunities, which he failed to convert.
There were quite a few instances where the Portuguese star could have netted more with 2 of his shots hitting the crossbar. The skipper also missed a few chances owing to poor finishing and the Al Taee goalkeeper making some crucial saves.
Ronaldo pumped about Al Nassr’s performance
After a 10-minute second-half extension, Ronaldo finally scored a penalty in the 87th minute to secure a hard-earned victory for the team from Riyadh.
Ronaldo also assisted Anderson Talisca in the club’s first goal, giving them the all-important lead. Ronaldo took to his Instagram, expressing how important the victory was for him and the team, and reminded the fans about the nine consecutive wins.
