Cristiano Ronaldo sent a strong message to his Al-Nassr teammates after a disappointing 1-1 draw against rivals and reigning champions Al-Hilal.
The Portuguese star's goal drought now stretches to four games, adding to the pressure as Al-Nassr faces a critical stretch of their season in the Saudi Pro League. Despite this setback, Ronaldo's spirit remains steadfast as he aims to inspire his team to keep fighting.
Ronaldo's latest slump saw him miss key chances in the match against Al-Hilal, where Al-Nassr initially took the lead in the first minute of the game thanks to Talisca's first goal.
However, Al-Hilal hit back and a powerful Sergej Milinkovic-Savic header in the 77th minute leveled the scores, forcing both teams to settle for a point. The equalizer comes just after a missed penalty by Ronaldo in an earlier clash against Al-Taawoun, which saw Al-Nassr eliminated from the King's Champions Cup.
What message does Cristiano Ronaldo want to send to his teammates in Al-Nassr?
After the draw, Ronaldo took to Instagram to thank the fans and rally his teammates. Sharing photos from the match, he wrote: “The battle is far from over. Thank you all for your support today!”
This message reflects his determination to move forward and turn things around, one that fans and teammates are counting on as Al-Nassr tries to regain his momentum. Al-Nassr will now focus on the AFC Champions League where they will face Asian champions Al-Ain in a crucial group stage match. With Ronaldo's unwavering faith and strong message of unity, Al-Nassr will hope to bounce back and secure a vital win on Tuesday.
