Cristiano Ronaldo is having a sensational season in the 2023-2024 Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr. The Portuguese legend is the top scorer in the tournament thanks to 23 goals.
Although individually CR7 is still one of the best players in the world, it seems that there will be no trophies to show for after their surprising elimination against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League.
Furthermore, in the league of Saudi Arabia, they almost have no shot to surpass Al Hilal, the club which signed Neymar, due to a massive difference of 12 points in the standings.
