Despite Ronaldo’s stellar performance, Al Nassr remains in second place, 12 points behind Al Hilal. Additionally, the team’s aspirations have been dealt a blow by the news of striker Aleksandar Mitrovic suffering a season-ending injury.
However, Ronaldo’s on-field talent was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding his suspension by Saudi Arabia’s football governing body. The decision, taken due to an alleged provocative gesture during a match, resulted in a one-game suspension and a fine of 30,000 riyals.
