Cristiano Ronaldo left FUMING as Al-Nassr fall six points behind in Saudi Pro League title race after defeat – as Portuguese superstar faces extending lengthy league title drought

Cristiano Ronaldo was left livid as Al-Nassr fell six points behind in the Saudi Pro League title race.

Ronaldo opened the scoring in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 defeat at home to Al-Qadsiah after capitalising on hesitancy from goalkeeper Koen Casteels.

However, Julian Quinones soon equalised for Al-Qadsiah before former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted what proved to be the winner shortly after half time.

Al-Nassr are six points behind league leaders Al-Hilal, who have played a game fewer and are in action away to Al-Khaleej on Saturday. 

Ronaldo hasn’t won a league title since the 2019-20 campaign when he was at Juventus, and it appears that his lengthy wait may continue.

As usual, Ronaldo has made a significant contribution for Al-Nassr this season – he has scored seven goals in ten league games so far.

Although Ronaldo opened the scoring, Al-Nassr’s title hopes suffered a blow

Last season Al-Nassr finished in second place in the table, 14 points behind champions Al-Hilal. 

In total, Ronaldo has scored 69 goals in 80 appearances for Al-Nassr since his arrival at the club in January 2023. 

Al-Nassr are back in action on Monday when they face Al-Gharafa away in the AFC Champions League Elite.
